This, and/or in a work profile (Shelter), or even better a separate android user

The gist of what they're saying is we trust Apple, not Google. Both american companies. But on android it is possible to have real time notifications without google. I also didn't like the wording of their page, read a lot like Apple apologia if not an utter advertisement - an iPhone XR costs only 50$! Don't you guys have ~~phones~~ iPhones??

Let's go back for a second and think about the people who need this type of service the most, today, in the US. Are they Apple or Android users?

Defaults are extremely important, we can't babysit every app update in the devices of a tech illiterate person we help or simply suggested Firefox to

Those like-minded owls are change-makers :)

It's p2p between the watchers, but files are hosted on a server (an instance of Peertube). With just one person watching a video there's no p2p, only server-client.

Peertube would be my choice, thanks to p2p one won't burden an instance if a video gets too popular. Just found a nice interface to find a good instance as a videomaker depending on topic, requirements, etc: https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker

As with the rest of the fediverse, autonomous institutions like universities should ideally have their own instance or join a collective. Embeds get the same p2p benefits and they seem super easy to implement

For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅

Ironfox is Mull's successor; tho it needs adding a repo since it's not on fdroid repo yet

chromium ≠ ungoogled chromium

The latter is my last-resort for those websites that will only work with chromium browsers, the rare times I absolutely need them. Works pretty well and it's easy enough (for now) to add ublock origin via drag and drop.

I use the flatpak version, faster to install.

 

From the browser Settings -> Site Settings -> Always request desktop site (on/off)

This affects Firefox versions since 133.0.0, including the Mull and Fennec forks.

Hopefully I can save you the 10min of frustration I just had 😄 I also just discovered that Android 13 and above cannot downgrade an app anymore without uninstalling first...first world problems, I know.
