The only thing keeping me from Firefox is native tab groups, I use that all the time.

FireTV has a bunch of ads and it seems harder to remove on the newer models / firmwares. For Android, I would suggest something with Android TV like Chromecast with Google TV or Onn Android TV. I have no experience with apple tv so I can’t be sure.

I think that’s how it works. I’m not 100% sure but I remember it being explained that once a user visits a community from another instance for the first time a copy is made and only new posts start to populate the copy. Meaning the past discussion is not ported. Also, I assume the users are low because it shows people subscribed in that copy just made but not including the other instances’ subscribers.

Using KWGT Pro (paid) with Koda for KWGT slightly modified.

Wallpaper is from iOS 17 carplay. I like using this app for browsing for good stock wallpapers.

Icon pack is Flora (paid) very nice material design icon pack that’s not too noticeable if some are not themed.

This is Nova launcher latest beta.!

I just used the Alfred app when I left my house and it works great even accessing from an iphone. Lots of features are pretty much free like recording and speaking/listening through the camera, there’s just a bunch of ads and you can only view it through one device simultaneously.

Yes, AlphaDroid (Android 13)

Honestly the names mean almost nothing, custom ROMs with new names come out all the time and get discontinued all the time. Just need to find the stable one for your specific device and with the features you want. I use custom ROMs mainly because I get much better battery life and performance compared to stock ROMs which are bloated and slow in my case.

The drawback is mainly you should be tech savvy and be willing to do trial and error/tinkering a lot. But once you find a good ROM you’ll probably stay a long time and if the dev is good you’ll get consistent updates.

There’s also the banking apps problem some people have. With most new ROMs these days, banking apps should work out of the box. Now if you root your phone that’s what apps try to detect but it’s pretty easy to get around after research (again tinkering). It’s a cat and mouse game. If they change something you’ll have to update your method of hiding root or Magisk. At the moment I’m using banking apps just fine without them detecting root.

Same. The 120hz feature is nice and maybe mostly good for games, but for daily use the battery life is worth more than the small smoothness upgrade at least for me.

The animations seem to be much better on nova beta 8 / android 13 here’s a video I just took: https://giphy.com/gifs/KzsTFd0JIvCc9MWI52

Idk if it would be the same case with Samsung’s android ui though. Lawnchair is still a good choice, just not actively being developed right now.

That’s weird, maybe it’s a pixel issue. I’ve had no lags ever since updating to android 13. Here’s a video of it https://giphy.com/gifs/KzsTFd0JIvCc9MWI52

Exactly, the small lag from multitasking on home that many people were complaining about is gone in A13. Not many people talked about that though.

My favorite part is before blowing it up, he was wrapping each individual fruit from his fruit stand 😂

Poco X3 NFC

I got the 64/6 variant for ~$130. I mainly love the good custom ROM support. Has IR blaster, SD card, and headphone jack. Good camera especially with gcam. Great battery life.

Stock MIUI sucks so you really should have a custom ROM. US cell coverage isn’t great.
