If you don't feel confortable with CLI tools their is graphical front-ends for yt-dlp such as Open Video Downloader or stacher but using yt-dlp is always better

I think brave provide a slightly better experience overall, and privacy is a bit stronger too. Cromite might be better in some areas but DDG has better tracking protection against analytics from companies such as Adobe, Faceboo, Google, etc... by default.

DDG mobile browser had a contreverasy with allowing Microsoft tracking (DDG search engine is using MS Bing's back-end) but in other hands brave is also quite contreversial with affiliate link injections, optionnal "private ads" with Web3 advertisement. Cromite seems cleaner but is a community run project and there is no company backing it.

Honestly I haven't used it in years but it's definitely not the worst option you can choose on Android.

Are you using Obtanium ? RSS Feed ? Or the app notify you and you manually download and install the update ?

So currently this is my recommendation for web browsers for Android.

Chromium based (best for security on Android)

  • brave, disable cryptocrap, telemetry sponsor background and you're pretty much good to go.
  • cromite, an active fork of bromite which is basically an upgrade of ungoogled chromium
  • Vanadium, if you are using GrapheneOS

Firefox based browser (none support per-site isolation as of today)

  • IronFox, a active fork of Mull, basically the most harden FF flavor on Android
  • Fennec, basically a fully libre FF flavor

Yes this is more correct. They wanted to provide to their user an alternative store that meets their security criteria so GOS users can download and install other apps safely.

The issue is that any firefox-based browser on Android lack of per-site isolation unlike chromium browser. It's a security issue that Mozilla doesn't seem interested in fixing. And it does impact every fork such as IronFox (previously Mull)

I am mainly using Firefox engine on all my computers but on Android I am using either Vanadium when on GrapheneOS and a tweaked brave when not.

For me personnaly it has nothing to do with supporting Google's monopoly on web tech or not. It's not about telemetry either, it is a security concern.

I don't know why a e-reader would need location data in order to improve the app...

Yeah but the privacy policy isn't great IMO

I'll go with Mafia II yes

Not sure if we can comment multiple games ^^'

  • Mafia II: Definitive Edition
  • The Smurfs 2 - The Prisoner of the Green Stone

As a young boy, I remember giggling nervously while I navigate the colorful chaos of Rayman 3, dodging the goofy Hoodlums that were both funny and a bit scary (especially the Knaarens) . Those gaming sessions are memories I cherish very much, one of the best game I ever played!

 

Would like to see open source client such as Infinity, Stealth, RedReader, etc... going to lemmy.

The best case scenario would be all reddit client including Apollo, Boost, etc... supporting the transition to lemmy but this is quite unlikely unfortunately...

 

Often people tend to say due to the lack of funding open source apps have bad UI and also sometimes terrible UX. While it’s not entierly false I’ve found myself some beautifuly designed apps and wanted to share them here.
