They don't apply to iOS either. It isn't their device once someone else purchases it. Furthermore, not allowing "sideloading" and bootloader unlocking is wrong. And I'd like to see EU and other governments crack down on Apple following Apple's scummy pseudocompliance with the DMA.

Surely having some vulnerabilities patched is better than having none patched. I don't think the crowd running Lineage is doing so in lieu of the latest iPhone.

And newtype is very clearly taken from jedi/force.

Certainly the button in control center doesn't anymore, but the toggle in settings doesn't do it either?

Is ublock origin supported on their iOS offering yet? Last I checked, it could be installed, but it didn't actually work.

I'm willing to bet otherwise (w.r.t. your first statement). They probably consider the sliver of such users expendable. They probably also (rightly) assume that a significant percentage of that sliver will continue using their service (e.g. via sanctioned Chrome on sanctioned hardware) if push comes to shove.

Or at least they will at some point in the near future.

The fingerprint sensors on the 6 and newer are terrible and massive downgrades in every way from previous models. Is there any indication that the 8 is moving to ultrasonic as rumored?

Even with e2ee enabled for iCloud, Apple has access to hashes of the plaintext files.

Are you running lineage or some other custom build? Stock android doesn’t do this afaik.

Tldr?

They acknowledge this in the article, but use that title anyway.

The heavier weight one was released awhile ago. I believe this one is intended to reduce wobble.

Look into OnStar.

Do you mean Nadella? Ballmer caught more flack than any big tech CEO (until possibly Musk, if he counts).

Hopefully Mozilla takes security seriously with mobile Firefox, finally. Otherwise Apple will appear justified in their regulations. The Android version of Firefox doesn't even support IsolatedProcess yet.

Yep.

Not that I'm aware of. I said that is the _future_ there.

Judging by all of the convenient misreading and straw manning in the replies, many of you must know it is coming too.

I doesn't block most (1st party) ads. See twitter, reddit, etc for example. Yes, that is with shields set to aggressive.

FF + uBlock, on the other hand, has no problem with this.

While another reply shows that you're principally wrong, it may also be practically wrong.

The author implies that the test was designed with malice, when infact it may be quite appropriate.

Serious question, but is it not true (statistically speaking)?

Ex source: Charles Murray's The Bell Curve, for instance.

Where do you live, might I ask?

The beautiful thing about open source is that a website doesn't mention the platforms it supports? Strange view.

To be more clear, it was to do with media frenzy once they found out about it.

Brave has a search engine for that.

Yes, we've all heard that. The question is whether it was actually an instance of "parallel construction".

Precisely my point.

Ad blocking is analogous to paying someone to cut advertisements out of a magazine you ordered before you read it.

You request something which is when sent to your house. Sure it is via http, but that is irrelevant. It could have just as well been via snail mail.

Actual it would be more like a company recording what (physical) mail you read, when you read it, where you were when you read it, how long you read it, where you looked at on the paper, etc. You request data, they send it to you.

For example, ad blocking is more akin to paying someone to cut advertisements out of a magazine before you read it.

Strange to see so many people here seemingly operating under the mistaken belief that Firefox is developed by volunteers.

They've been receiving hundreds of millions of dollars each year just for what they set as the default search engine.

I see this claim a lot, but I always ask myself "what, exactly". As far as I can tell, he just happened to get swapped in during the transition away from Windows 8 and the building up of Azure (both happening anyway).
