Not really. Firefox and Brave are two great alternatives that suffer due to not being the default browser on most systems, unlike the current duopoly.

Not really since CMA also took aim at Google Chrome's dominance. If that is made no longer the default browser then it'd go a long way to increasing browser diversity. I can only hope Gecko (Firefox) grows in the wake of that.

How often does one want to individually allow specific 3rd-party cookies+images? uBlock already allows control over specific 3rd party scripts.

The default is supposed to be Wayland, since Xorg is no longer being actively developed. Though it's taking some distros a while to move to it as default.

Firefox has this feature natively, no need for an add-on. In Privacy & Security settings set it to clear all browsing data when Firefox closes, and simply add exceptions for whichever domains you want. This also has the advantage of cle

X11 is pretty poor for security, you should use Flatpak as it has sandboxing and still stores all its files in one directory.

Currently using Tailscale but looking to switch due to it's reliance on a centralised proprietary control node. From what I understand NetBird is a true mesh VPN with no central node reliance? Eager to try this once a mobile app is ava

Sandboxing is important for the desktop security. The choices are between Flatpak and Snap for desktop Linux. Snap requires lock-in to Canonical's proprietary cloud app store, whereas Flatpak you can link to multiple app stores simulta

I honestly don't know how people manage any serious web browsing without Tree Style Tabs. It's hell on Chromium-based browsers with their constantly shrinking tab width, and the workarounds aren't much better.

They treat Linux users like shit. Unlike their VPN apps on other platforms it still lacks WireGuard, split tunnelling, profiles, etc.

The extension Zoom Page WE can re-enable this if you want.

People arrested for their darknet activities have always had OPSEC failures that out them like reusing known email addresses or usernames. Being deanonymised during normal Tor browsing is extremely difficult and I'd challenge you to po

Even non-techies really, as long as you have someone to do that first install since there's very few companies that offer Linux as the default OS for their hardware.

Which bootcamp? Looking for one to join.

Great to see this. I stopped using GnuCash completely once the Android app stopped getting updates, but if this web app works well it might get me back into it.

Unfortunately the Uber web app is disabled for my country (UK).

Sorry I was ignoring that unlocking the bootloader will do that. However if you're flashing a ROM or upgrading an already unlocked phone you do not need to format it.

MindTheGapps is a decent alternative that supports Android 12.

AccA, Titanium Backup, Acet's Call Recorder Magisk module, etc.

You didn't need to transfer application data, swapping ROM/OS shouldn't touch that.

Uber maps are totally inaccurate when you try to zoom in/out with microG (even with Mapbox), unfortunately had to reinstall GApps because of this. Because of this I'd love to see GrapheneOS' sandboxed Google Play Services shi

Wouldn't recommend, getting parts replaced takes months when I sent mine in for repair on just a 3 year old model.

WINE lacks support for FiveM and Space Station 13, which prevents a ton of multiplayer roleplaying servers from being played.

Waydroid allows Linux devices to run Android apps when needed, which also can help bridge the gap in usability until mobile Linux distros are competitive with Android.

Piped can bypass age restriction (eg https://piped.kavin.rocks instance), it's the new Invidious YouTube FOSS frontend alternative.

Do you genuinely think they're the only office products providers in the world?

Also teddit.net, which I find even faster and lightweight without JS.

100% remote yet the office is enforcing a mandate means the move is 100% political, and not at all about protecting their employees.
