I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass.

drawerair@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Jonathan Kamens: "It has come to my attention that many of the people complaining about Firefox's PPA experiment don't actually understand what PPA is…" - federate.social1·8 months agoWhy is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google’s payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Google set to purge the Play Store of low-quality appsEnglish2·10 months agoFrequently unresponsive or very unstable apps shouldn’t have been in the Play store in the 1st place.
Anyway, to the Play store’s credit, I downloaded many bank apps and I never got a fake bank app.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Google Messages adopts double FAB to promote GeminiEnglish1·2 months agoBeen using Samsung messages for years, not Google messages, but I just wanna comment.
I’m OK with it. It’s been an ai race. It’s natural that Google is taking advantage of the millions of Android phones and of the fact that many are using Google messages and Gmail.
Adding Gemini to Google messages is sensible to me. I just hope it won’t be annoying.
Gmail has been my main email but I didn’t see Gemini in it. Maybe in the future?
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•what lemmy app do you recommend and why?English1·1 year agoI’m OK with the ads. The coder didn’t put disappointingly many ads. And the few ads I saw weren’t annoying. I hope the ad $ has been a 👍 reward for the coder for making and maintaining Sync.
I <3 the user interface’s design. It’s Google’s design.
When I wanted to install Revanced extended on my Samsung a70, there were the easy way (which didn’t involve Termux) and the kinda hard way (which involved Termux). I’m not an Android expert but I thought I would be able to follow a well-written process. So I chose the kinda hard way. It went well. I appreciated Termux.

I have no concern. But I noticed the difference compared to Chrome. In Chrome, the new window is there while the left mouse button is held down. In Firefox, it’s a thumbnail.
For many monitors, I never had more than 1 monitor, so can’t talk re it.

drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Recommend me some Quality of Life Android applicationsEnglish1·1 year agoGmaps wv is if you wanna use Google maps privately right? If Gmaps wv is on an Android (which is by Google) phone, can Google track your map browsing?
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Recommend me some Quality of Life Android applicationsEnglish1·1 year agoProps to Readera for having dark mode and being able to handle very long books. Been using Readera for a long time.

drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Can someone recommend a good pdf reader?English1·1 year agoIt’s 👍 but barebones. No dark mode and support for native and user-created bookmarks.
drawerair@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Advice: What 2022-2024 phones should be on my radar?English1·1 year agoAgree. I think you’ll be :) with the Pixel 7 or 8.
Ublock origin – best ad blocker
Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.
