What matters to me is what tools the browser lets me use to complement it and harden it to my liking.

Chromium does not offer that. But if I’m going to use Chromium, it would be Brave browser, since it provides tools comparable to what I use in Firefox.

To me, how is a browser going to be attacked if the scripts the attacker would use are already blocked by my toolset? (Rhetorical)

Turbine style desk fans. They push wind very fast.

Just ran through that list of bugs and don’t see my issue that happens all the time. I guess I’ll have to add a ticket.

My bug is when minimizing and restoring windows (fedora plasma 6 latest version), the first time or two it is smooth, but a few more times and it gets really jerky. It acts like a memory leak somewhere.

I wish there was a way to keep Grapheneos installed and locked down without root, but with a way to adjust screen color. The only way I can tolerate pixel screen color reproduction is to root it and use an app to adjust it.

Been using smart launcher for a while. I like that the pro version offers blur.

Yeah Heliboard with the swipelib is closest to gboard for me, better than Futo, however, Futo has a voice typing app also that is incredibly accurate, and punctuates near perfectly. So I use Heliboard with Futo Voice Typing.

It’s probably Google sharing that information with Amazon. Amazon isn’t actively spying on Google searches. I could be wrong though, but that is what Google “Ad Privacy” spyware is really about. To let Google share your interests with other companies.

FYI this does not include spreadsheets, so if you’re hoping to replace an office suite, it’s not there yet.

Except for being on a Chromium base, I appreciate that Brave isn’t sneakily turning into Chrome 2.0 like a well-known Fox is.

I just found Futo keyboard. Works very well and has offline voice input that works great.

So it might be that Fairphone is not aware how to make the notification bar transparent. It’s a setting in android development they can enable. (Disclaimer: I’m not a developer.)

With that in mind, they seem to be saying it was intentional to hide their lack of knowledge. It’s simply unreasonable that any developer would want such a hideous defect permanently at the top of the home screen.

On a positive note, I believe android 15 is supposed to correct this when the developer does not.

Try a different launcher like Nova Launcher or Smart Launcher.

I answered this in your other post, but linking the answer here as well:

It seems to be how apps can link themselves to a URL. This service just verifies the link is good.

Here is a writeup on it: https://grapheneos.org/usage#app-link-verification

Sure, consumers should make informed decisions. But this was a technical\feature review until OP brought in their personal feelings on someone’s personal beliefs. Once they did that, they no longer were doing technical review on search engines.

Thank you for proving my point.

I stopped reading after Brave, as you chose to derail your product reviews to meddle in someone’s personal beliefs. Those two things have no correlation.

Google fails that hard on QA all the time. Perhaps iOS would work for you?

While you’re at it, check out their other product, Icon Pack Studio. It’s the last icon pack you’ll ever need.

Google loves to merge apps into one so you are forced to use the rootkit virus that is the Google app.

It’s a consequence of Android, but you can use GrapheneOS if you want to break away.
