It’s been here since more than a year. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/firefox-androids-new-privacy-feature-total-cookie-protection-stops-companies-from-keeping-tabs-on-your-moves/

It’s there on mobile. Check the details tab in tracking protection. You should see it mentioned there.

Is there a non paywalled article somewhere? It asks for a sub the alternative asks for sign up and free trial.

They said PWA. Chrome and Chrome like browsers can install pwa as native apps, aka webapks on your android. Firefox can only add a shortcut where sites can run full screen.

My older redmi has this issue where once a accessibility service was killed, it had to be disabled and enabled with the 10s mandatory wait because xiaomi. Miui also disables a bunch of APIs like 3rd party apps cannot change the wallpaper or the running services option present in most ROMs. This isn’t to ignore the aggressive app killing behavior of miui. Overall, my experience wasn’t great. Oneui is a much better and more stable experience, IMO.

Gestures were broken in android 11, but Google had released a fix, so they worked with 3rd party launchers. Xioami, for some reason, hasn’t applied that fix, so it’s still broken in miui. Other roms do not have this issue.

He must be talking about glance on samsung.

On the latest miui, you can not use gestures. Only button navigation

This isn’t the default for others. In OneUI, for example, you can use a combination of both, even with 3rd party launchers. One-handed mode+, for example, is awesome for gestures.

Last I knew fdroid didn’t support shizuku. Unless, you talk about 3rd party fdroid clients like droidify and neostore, etc. Also, unless xiaomi borked the adb perms(I’m sure they did like they do for accessibility service apps) shizuku can work with wireless adb.

It would still still prompt that pop-up. That was the case when I had one on android 10. It’s a miui thing unless it gets bypassed for this android API.

There’s a setting to disable scanning of installing apps. Disable it from security app. Also, don’t debloat the security app it will break things for you.

They won’t need too. Chrome is the standard.

Firefox could get litigated for ad fraud and these trusted 3rd parties could block firefox from accessing the sites. It won’t work.

Awesome. It’s been a while since I used termux. Good to know it’s still making progress.

Why go through so much hassel? It’s the default system app. Many samsung services and app’s are likely hardcoded to use it for stuff like that. It also excels in certain tasks like bulk image moving, deleting compared to Google photos. You won’t get hurt just by having it installed.

Thanks for the guide. It will make self-hosting more accessible.

I kept on seeing that so frequently it became annoying. Later, I discovered it stopped when I started to use cloudflare dns with their playstore app. So, I think it must be rate limiting from lemmy.ml itself or some weird dns issue from my service provider.

It’s a site issue. I have the same issues when browsing the site from hermit lite apps.

Native apps are apps written in the native language of the platform of choice. It would be Java for Android and swift for IOS. Native apps can request lower level access to your system than a webapp.

Now, a webapp is a basically a website which can run like a native app with similar features and is full screen unlike a website. The language is javascript for the front-end and the backend(server) handles some communication. So, webapps can behave and act like native apps but they are not native and won’t have the same lower level access to your system. Think access to storage, accessibility services, settings, etc. Webapps can also be slower compared to native apps which is prominent in non-flagship smartphones.
