NetFront on the phone, IceCat mobile (never gets updates) or internal WebView browser on a smartpone, some unknown browser on samsung tv, Firefox 50 on a Linux laptop, but using others often doesn't help. For a while on these I get "screw yourself" message right away, while on others it's 5-30 captcha solving (AI feeding) sessions. And not only me. People with stock android 7 and older browsers have this too. And users of "suspicious" (e.g. non-chrome) browsers too. Oh, and these proxy pages forcing me to use JS (which I clearly don't want), and provide training to some AI (same here).
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoUnfortunately the internet moves fast, and if you're using a smart TV (prime for DDOS) or (in internet years) old tech it's the same as trying to drive a model t on the highway - sure it's a perfectly serviceable vehicle but you're probably going to get pulled over more often because you're a danger to yourself and others.
- IYasha 4y agoThat's why I hate proprietary sh*t. A great TV with no way to update it or make it usable (no, I won't plug it into another computer). A great smartphone/toaster/anything else with the same problem...
- _rdvw 4y agoThe latest Firefox 110 for Android supports 5.0+. The latest Chromium 110 for Android supports 7.0+. Any device sold with the Android branding running 7.0+ will even have the latest Google/Chrome WebView updated out of band via Play. 5/6 will be stuck on version 105(?). You should consider switching from IceCat to Fennec F-Droid, see my comparison table here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
- IYasha 4y agoIt's quite more complicated. But thanks. GMS/gapps or whatever are long gone for me anyway )
