If only someone would put the Firefox over the earth like the logo, that would be epic.

That is nonsense. They actioned 1 legal enforcement which every company would have to do.

As someone who has used Firefox on Android for 9 years plus... "lol, wut?!"

It was bad, 7 years ago, and has been solid for at least 4 years.

Edit: ignore, i thought you meant watch, not app. My mistake.

Not FOSS, but Garmin did well in Mozilla's Privacy not included reviews: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/garmin-forerunner-series/

Check comparability. Has an Android app.

It's weird how the US has protections of people from government but if it is outsourced to the private sector, it is absolultely fine.

I cannot see why you don't want people to stumble across Selenium automation. Kidding :)

I own a Pinephone and it wasn't ready for daily driving. Even the battery issues meant that when sleeping, phones wouldn't always wake to receive a call which can be critical. Software is still quite immature, but I would consider buying a Pinephone Pro from them in future as happy with hardware side of things. It will get there, and it's cool to see the progress, in the end, I went with a Pixel with GrapheneOS (degoogled android) which is pretty reliable for the essentials and having access the android apps in a sandbox.

If you're looking for a daily driver, it's probably the best bet right now.

Haven't used it, but Plasma Bigscreen has been recommended before: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

It's chromium and if people are using chromium, websites are going to be more likely to implement WEI. Google dictating web standards is the issue, and any chromium based browser keep that in place.

I'm not familiar, can you explain a bit more about what it is and what you use it for, maybe it might help folk to give suggestions.

I don't think Firefox's position is unreasonable here. Ultimately, the old way of distributing copy-write content wasn't going to work. Companies that had right to something, couldn't easily distribute it without a large risk of piracy and a tanking of revenues. Having a sandbox around proprietary shite made sense and protected users privacy while also enabling the content providers to maintain their asset.

Removing ad blocks is a wholly different ball game. Google obviously has a stake in it because YT is funded by ads. Maybe some ad driven content providers also, but subscription driven services don't have the same need for that. It does seem an unholy alliance between content providers and big tech has been formed and it could be something at play again.

Email is a pretty insecure protocol as it is. From what I am aware, you can only get a certain level of security/privacy when sending cross domain emails, so we cannot get the same level of privacy as we would with Matrix or Signal. It's getting the best security you can with a medium we and the world are unfortunately dependent on.
