Nice to see FF doing the work and opening doors to so many extensions. The few things I have encountered on FF that are still a major PITA for me:

Sometimes tabs gets corrupted in sense that they just wont load any data and show data of the tab that was shown previously. navigating to other domain and stuff wont work. (Encountered it in Private mode)
Downloads may sometimes stop in middle.
I feel the app consumes more battery

Google Drive missing file issue is caused by desktop app in c/google@lemdro.id

rclone ftw!

Exynos might be rebranded to Dream Chip next year in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 1 points 11 months ago

I would have preferred Hot Chips.

I'm amazed that Android doesn't have a built in way to connect to a network drive like iOS/iPadOS has in c/android@lemdro.id

MiXplorer, Folder Sync Pro and more

My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Yup. Monkrus is the best place

I would also recommend to use CCStopper and use the Add to Hosts option to further block out any attempts to check for genuine.

Adobe PDF is also good if you know where to get it for free. I esp. rely on the editing feature of Adobe PDF. Has saved me so much hassle to edit PDF files cleanly.

This is your yearly reminder to donate to (if you can) your favorite open source project in c/piracy@lemmy.ml

If you are looking for Password Manager, then you can support BitWarden by buying their Premium plan.

LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5 million Android devices in c/android@lemdro.id

I haven't encountered such a thing yet (been using for 5 months).

There are lot of methods to bypass those checks even now, and often many ROMs do this by default. (LineageOS doesn't do that afaik)

It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yes. It's really a powerful tool that helps to keep the Web tidy and sane.

I'm talking from a general user perspective who often can't even differentiate between chipsets let alone look for such details.

People used to got to Custom ROMs because OEMs were really doing shit job, that's not the case now given now.
