$349 for something I can get with Android 13 on Amazon for $60. Hmm.

Bravo Voyager! 🔥

Ya, that took me quite some time to get past. Still, I didn’t really expect this city would do something right for the first time ever, so my disappointment was contained.

Maybe someone should ask the mother why her 13-year-old was out on the road at 4am. I don’t think she gets to point fingers.

Thereby surrendering your anonymity and negating any reason to use the app over mainstream alternatives.

Simple answer to the question so far as I can see: in order to connect with someone, you have to video conference with them and show them a code. So the anonymity is only as anonymous as the video conference you use to do that. All of the benefits it claims are merely an illusion.

This is the best one. There’s an in-app purchase to remove ads. You’re just playing yourself for high score. Great time-waster.

Instagram Lite is an okay alternative to the bigger, main client and since it’s official, it won’t get you banned. It’s not available in most markets, but sideloading from APKMirror works very well.

The best I’ve found/used.

.57 has completely borked swipe gestures. Swiping left upvotes, right bookmarks. There’s nothing in the settings that I can see to fix this.

Firefox on Android has supported the normal add-ons since December. The list is at 678 extensions as I’m typing this.

I’d be happy just to have an app that would let me create a metacommunity of my own (ie: showing me an “Android” community (folder) that I could stick android@lemmy.world, android@lemmy.ml, android@lemmy.ca, and android@whatever.else into).

Ultimately, there’s some humour in how fixing this problem in 2024 was actually done 30 years ago when we had newsgroups. comp.technology.android would have solved all of this.

I’ve been a believer since Netscape 3 and am a happy user on my desktops, phone, and tablets. I struggle to imagine a world without extensions on mobile. Firefox is also my password manager of choice, offering way more usability than any of the other options with at least the same level of security (AES-256 and 10,000 rounds of PBKDF2). I hope to never have to consider a move and don’t foresee ZDNet’s predicted death. 2.2% still apparently equates to almost $600M of revenue. That’ll keep the train running for quite a while. Still, I wish Mozilla listened better. Getting rid of XUL extensions was a self-inflected gunshot wound and not getting the full extension list to mobile for 2 years was just asking people to leave.
