Even without ads it's shit without sponsorblock for me. Not even for the sponsor spots, but the absolutely annoying copy paste of please like, subscribe, hit the notification icon, blah blah blah blah blah.

I've preferred firefox on Android, since it doesn't refresh on me when I minimize it as often as other browsers.

I ended up reading the webtoon because of this anime. Haven't kept up though with the hiatuses, and finding I prefer reading a volume worth of content than a slow drip feed.

Rachel is also the best.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

I wouldn't bother with the app. Log in through the website with lite apps.

There's user name generators. Even fantasy name generators too so it's not a weird jumble of letters and numbers like a password.

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

But it's $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

It's so weird that Google's phone has been the most accessible for unlocking your phone. Oneplus used to be good too, but then they became bad in that area too and now custom rom scene seems dead for newer Oneplus phones.

Preorder bonuses and microtransaction purchases that provide xp boosts and items that make the game easier.

Having rich family versus none provides a safety net that lessens the consequences of risk taking, and sets a baseline of how bad your life can get.

It's like playing a game with check points versus one that has you start at the beginning if you die. You still have to do all the hard work to reach your goal yourself, but those retro style non check point games are incredibly hard compared to games with check points, saves, or cheating with save states.

I don't see a problem with warnings though as someone who does side load and use F-droid to install Foss apps.

You even got on the Apple side people thinking side loading on iOS is not something they want, since they think it's easy to end up with a malware app when there's plenty of warnings and a function that needs to be enabled on Android.

I don't see it any differently really than warnings for when installing a program on Windows if it wants admin access at the start. I think Android with the terrible security updates and eol period shorter than iOS devices is hitting a nice balance of warning users of risks of installing unknown apps, but providing the flexibility for people to install whatever they want.

Most users are idiots.
