Brave browser. Just works.

Rocking a 200$ OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and it's doing the job pretty well! Thinking of flashing PixelOS into it once I get bored with Oxygen OS.

Nice. But I'd rather have an SD card slot, headphone jack, and a bigger, removable battery. Seriously, I don't give a fuck otherwise.

Install the Twitter2nitter app from fdroid so that even the 'twitter.com'/'x.com' links redirect to nitter instances upon getting clicked.

The August update fucked this app up with shitty, slow-ass animations, and now this? Damn it, WhatsApp. Meta ought to bloat everything it seems.

Funny because I thought so too, but actually went ahead with it on my Nord CE 2. Fixed my battery issues amazingly well.

Those who use Firefox on a low-end laptop or any such low-spec machine, what tinkering have you done to get the best experience? (lemm.ee)

Firefox has been improving drastically in terms of performance with every release. It's pretty evident in recent months, which is very heartwarming to be honest.

I, however, do to some bad circumstances, have been stuck with a not-so-good laptop (8 GB RAM, a 6th gen processor in AMD A8 7410) and Firefox doesn't run that well on it. This is something that I've observed with Firefox- if you have a decent machine then it will run amazingly fast. However, on lower-end machines, performance can be a struggle AT TIMES.

Any tips on making this browser run at it's best potential on a weak system are appreciated!
