I’m into privacy, but I really enjoy my pixel as it is too. The main concern is my Dexcom continuous blood glucose monitor. It gives annoying warnings about not being tested with the current os version every time I update. I don’t even use betas.

That is tempting, especially if I knew I wouldn’t lose some picky software. I think I’m in a reasonable state of balance between Google and privacy at the moment.

It is my default launcher too but it requires a different mindset if you’re used to arranging icons. You spend more time choosing wallpaper instead of arranging things. Just, tag your apps and search for them. It’s much better than it sounds. And any widgets you want just scroll up from the bottom.

I use Firefox with Phoenix on the desktop so the standard profile is just a little less strict than librewolf and the hardened profile is a little more strict. https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix

I was using (and really liked) Librewolf until I heard that they were having trouble keeping up with Firefox updates. Now I’m using the Phonenix configurations for Firefox and keeping the FF updates separate from the privacy configuration settings. Avoiding forks lets you get the best of both worlds.

Firefox. Hardened via Phoenix https://github.com/neuroradiology/Phoenix-for-Firefox?tab=readme-ov-file

I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

Bot?

No mention of phoenix here? I moved from Librewolf over concerns it wasn’t keeping up and this project does much like the arkenfox stuff does by using the current firefox and just changing some settiings and policies so you are never behind the latest version of firefox.

That sounds like what I was looking for. Thanks. I finally figured out last night that I could remove that particular account from tusky and the target disappeared. Unfortunately, it changes back as soon as I add back that account! That’s the third account on tusky and it only grabs that one.

I used librewolf until there was some concern about them updating in a timely manner.

Now I used Firefox with Phoenix to maybe get the best of both worlds and IronFox on mobile.

I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.

That was so needed

And that’s when I leave Bluesky too. Meta goes down within a month and the clock is ticking for Bluesky. I’ll stay in the fediverse.

It allows no external browser and if you leave the app and return the page automatically refreshes so you lose your place.

Fair enough, but so far that hasn’t bothered me. I’ve used librewolf for a year which seems to have most of the same hardening and it doesn’t break the particular sites I use.

So far, the only site that didn’t work was bsky and the solution was a simple permission.

I just installed it without difficulty and it apparently auto updates after that but I am interested in the other criticisms. Where did you read them?

Correction. It does.

It looks like Ironfox doesn’t use Firefox sync?

I’ve used a patched version of Dexcom before to get around the os version check and screenshot block but I never actually used xdrip+. Why do you like it so much and where do I get more info?
