For me Firefox has some showstoppers that Mozilla doesn't seem too interested in fixing (tablet ui on Android, lack of share target support for pwas). I'm not some hater mind you, I want it to succeed.

Does that mean that DRM is now illegal ? I know it doesn't, but I'm so tired of these rule for thee but not for me laws.

I've recently checked my years-old essay using one of these AI plagiarism detectors and it said that the essay was 90% AI written. So either it's all bs or I'm a time travelling AI.

More AI panic... whatever gets clicks i guess.

Keep in mind that a lot of your local marketplace sellers just order rebadged stuff from alibaba. I've found literally the same electronics i've bought locally on aliexpress for like half the price.

I still hate the fact that the same people who said that no one is going to adopt a whole new social network in regards to mastodon suddenly changed their minds when the zuck made a worse version of it.

I'm geniunely asking, what are the alternatives that are fast, have builtin sync, and can block ads on android? I've tried firefox, and while it's gotten better on desktop, in my experience it struggles to play youtube videos on mobile, and the ui is basically unusable on a tablet/foldable.
