  Yep. Thank you for bringing more context.

  Bringing preferences, bookmarks, history, migrating passwords to a password manager. All the important functionality of the sites I visit often working without issues. I knew that everything should work without issues, but you never know for sure until you actually give it a go.

  Same. MV3 and Google disabling ublock origin even though mv2 was still functional, was the last straw. I was afraid to jump ship after 16 years of Chrome, but I’m really happy I did.

  MV3 was revised several times following legitimate concerns. Its current, final form is exactly because these concerns were raised.

  I’m all for Disney getting the cancellations they deserve, but articles like this one are entirely sensationalist. No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.

  Same outcome as with their search engine, same thing with Chrome, Youtube and many other Google products. They built up their user base with a solid product (or bought it), and then started shitting all over their users by making horrible decisions and inserting all sorts of dark patterns in the name of “security” or whatever else pretense. I’m still hoping another entity steps up and fills the vacuum that Android leaves behind.

  Unfortunately the Android experience is getting more and more bloated and users’ freedom to tinker with their phones or sideload apps is getting more and more difficult. The Play Store is riddled with more ads than useful content. Just try searching for something, and oftentimes more than half of your screen is ads.

  I’ve been with Android since the start and I hate what Google is reducing it to. It pains me that the only viable alternative is Apple and I feel trapped.
