You forgot to name the prestigious degree: "Entire Political Science"

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.

Amazon is another poor startup that does that on their Android app.

I'm not sure there exist any.

Last time I checked, this was actually the biggest criticism Google recieved. They were pushing RCS on Apple, yet keeping it proprietarily only available on Google Messages.

Maybe it has changed. I don't know.

Latest update I heard was that they made it ON by default in Google Messages.

I have a PWA (Web App) created for this website on my home screen. I always check downloaded APKs by uploading them here.

It's smart. It does not always require you to upload the apk. 99% of the time, the APKs from Mobilism are already uploaded and scanned there by other users. In that case, the website simply checked the file hash, skips the upload and shows the scan results.

As for the scan results themselves, I'm not an expert. Maybe others on this thread can help you there.

This is my story:

1. YouTube has a limit of 5000 videos in a playlist. So, the default 'Watch Later' playlist was filled up quickly for me.

2. Then I created a 2nd playlist named 'Watch Later 2' where I'm 3600 videos in. But now I've ditched this playlist for something new.

3. Instead, now I simply open a video & close it, to add it to my History. 'History' also has a search button now, but it needs the exact video title I guess, no typos.

Also, I have a total of 84 different custom playlists that I've created for different topics & God knows the total number of videos they contain that need to be "watched later".

This is my life now in YouTube.

1. Mixplorer Silver - Feature-packed File Manager

2. Hermit - Lightweight PWA browser

3. Instaddr - creates disposable Email addresses

4. Readera - Feature-packed book reader

5. Moon+ Reader - Feature-packed book reader

6. Balance - for Meditation. They have been offering a one year free trial for some time now. It has been really helpful for me. Their programs are highly customised to achieve your goals. Give it a try.

7. KWGT & KWLP - if you're into home screen customisation, then these are must haves.

8. 1DM - Feature-packed Browser and Download Manager (Direct downloads & torrents)

9. Niagara Launcher - Lightweight, minimalist, with solid, fluid animations. One-hand friendly. Free version has ZERO ADS. I've been using the free version for a couple of years now. I'm hooked to it. I don't think I can go back to a normal App Drawer drawer style launcher now. They offer one time purchase as well for the pro version. I felt no need for the pro features, though i'd definitely buy the pro to support the dev.

Some of these have decent free alternatives. Mixplorer is free to use officially through XDA. KWGT & KWLP have free ad supported versions available through their official website. Regardless, these have been installed on all my phones for years now.

and for promotions you could use !newcommunities@lemmy.world

I was introduced to reddit via the Relay for Reddit app by an MKBHD video. For me relay was reddit. Couple of years later I found Reddit has a website and an official app. I took a look. ALL MY FAITH WAS LOST IN UI DESIGN & MY EYES WERE BURNING.

There's also DeArrow by the same developer that made SponsorBlock. It converts clickbait titles and thumbnails to be descriptive rather than being clickbaity and sensational.

Yep. They are all great. Photon is my favourite so far. Sleek & Fast with a Black & White theme. But they are still a Work in Progress amd lack features. I tried them a week ago. I always end up reverting back to lemdro.id

Can someone Eli5 what's this about? My guess is this is about windows game emulation on Android.

How do I install this on Firefox desktop and Firefox Android? I remember there was an extension for Firefox the last time I checked. Now I cannot find the extension on the Mozilla store.

I guess the iPhone sales numbers in the US are keeping them awake. I personally think Apple will only bend if they are forced somehow by the US government, like the way EU did with type-C.

Use Obatanium to update GitHub apks. You can add other sources too.

From my limited understanding of web trackers, tracking companies like Facebook & Google and other 3rd party trackers like to identify unique users on the internet so that they can be served targeted ads suited to that unique user's traits. They do this by creating unique 'Fingerprints' for these users by taking note of their browser characteristics like Timezone, Screen resolution, Fonts, Language preferences, etc.

This setting simply resets this fingerprint daily so that these tracking companies are not able to track you on the basis of your browser attributes. if you turn this on it will increase your privacy but will break some websites.

I don't get it. Are the snake and the plane shown by the image viewer without the window?

Literally.

Great video though.

Why don't 3rd launchers not support native gestures yet? Why does Google refuse to fix that?

There is this QuickPic mod on XDA that I've been using since it got bought out by Cheetah. You should check it out.

Wasn't Cloudstream shut down?

I don't get it. So, it will save my cookies, keeping my logins are safe. But it will reject the site's cookies that they want to store for trackers?

DeArrow is a similar extension from the creator of SponsorBlock. It's suggestions for the title and thumbnail are crowdsourced as opposed to being randomised in the case of ClickBait Remover.

This is neat. It has other handy features too. From its description:

• Site safety and malware checks
• Finding similar sites and reviews
• Automatic translation to your language
• Diagnostics like pings and traceroutes
• Whois and DNS information
• Page code validation
• Quick URL shortening

Also, an important distinction: It shows the country where the server is located rather than what the nationality of the domain name is.

Can you elaborate?

My guess is the various Android & iOS clients will add this feature to combine similar communities and view all of their content together in one feed (like multireddits on reddit).

But I hope this feature is implemented at a system level in the Lemmy software itself.

I think many people may have already requested this as a feature on official GitHub issues.

Yep, the grouping of tabs in TreeStyleTabs is very handy & convenient.

The Moto X (2014)/(2nd gen) was such an awesome phone with a solid build.

I bought it in 2015 at a huge discount instead of the One Plus 1. I used it till the end of 2019 until the battery gave in & the USB port became useless.

Except for the smaller battery size & ok-ish camera, everyone had praises for that phone. My favourite part was it's shape & software.

It received the Android 5 & 6 updates even before summer Nexus phones. And the updates were stable. Times were wild back then.

Isn't Firefox open source? So isn't it possible that anyone could see the changes being made even in the nightly versions? I'm not a programmer so forgive my ignorance.

How is it different from TreeStyleTabs? I'll give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

Nice Suggestion.

DeArrow is a similar extension from the creator of SponsorBlock.

He has highlighted the differences between the two in the description:

• Unlike Clickbait Remover, DeArrow's main purpose is for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails

• When a crowdsourced title is not available, DeArrow will auto-format it according to your setting, but does it in a more sophisticated way than Clickbait Remover. Instead of only setting all words to lower case, or capitalizing every word, DeArrow supports casing systems such as "Title Case" and "Sentence case". These will still allow acronyms and proper names to remain capitalized.

• When a crowdsourced thumbnail is not available, DeArrow by default shows a screenshot at a random timestamp in the video. Clickbait Remover's thumbnails use YouTube auto-generated thumbnails, and while they are seemingly random, they are chosen by a machine learning algorithm to favor faces with expressions, and other overstimulating features. DeArrow uses truly random timestamps generated by its own server. DeArrow will also check the SponsorBlock database to ensure the randomized thumbnail is not inside of a sponsor segment.

Thanks for suggesting Sidebery. I've used TreeStyleTabs before. I'll give Sidebery a try now.

There are some awesome suggestions made by people here. Never heard before extensions that may come handy someday, that would otherwise require third party apps to do the same task.

Also, save the following two posts as well. I didn't notice similar posts were already created earlier.

1. Best Firefox Extensions? by MokMokFIsh

2. What are your favourite add-ons for Firefox? by t0fr

I'm sorry. I should have looked in this community before posting. I forgot.

I found 2 similar threads. I'll leave the links here:

2. What are your favourite add-omd for Firefox? by t0fr

Edit: Your link was not working for me. I don't know why. It's same as the 2nd link that I posted.

how did I not know about this??

The first thing I do whenever I install anything is to go through the settings. To turn off trackers, analytics and explore the accessibility features.

Mixplorer Silver too.

There's also newpipe x sponsorBlock

Thanks for the suggestions!

Chameleon, great privacy tool, but can break some crappy sites

• User-Agent Switch is an alternative.

(Forgot name), an addon that lets you skip link shorteners with ads.

• FastForward

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept.

It can be both.

• You love the app, you don't want it discontinued; you pay to continue the developement.
• The developers have a solid business model without any shady practices and have such an awesome free version that you don't feel the need to pay to upgrade to premium features; then you may pay just to just your gratitude. Niagara Launcher & MixPlorer are similar examples of ad-free FREE versions.

Can someone eli5 what Shizuku is? I keep hearing about it on a number of Android App YouTube videos as well.
