The relevant part which was skipped unless you check the article

Plus some upgrade discounts, but both policies will only apply to customers in India.

I guess they used the auto suggest title feature where even the original article does not mention it. It’s mentioned in the subheading.

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.

I will link my comment, which I had written for another person before. Sync for lemmy is currently in beta, so some things may be broken. But, most of it is still true. https://lemmy.ml/comment/834817

That €20 is for remove ads. Update the app and check the sidebar

Yes, it would work with all android devices. Otherwise, it would be pointless.

For some reason Youtube does the fastest and the most accurate voice recognition compared to the offline google Speech to Text. If they want to improve. Implement that in the Speech to Text app.

KeepassDX. The best password manager IMHO. It supports saving passwords, ability to open them with biometrics and is seamless and offline. I have been using it since 2019. Redreader for reddit provides the best offline reddit experience. Also using it since 2019. Personaldnsfilter, pretty much a fire and forget app. No setup required at all. These are some of my favorite apps and I have more.

Thanks for acknowledging the issue. I’m on android which could make some difference. I install Firefox with ublock origin as good adblocking solution for others. Most do not appear to notice this issue so it’s not a problem. Hopefully, it’s fixed for the ones experiencing this issue.

I’m talking about the tab reload issue. Check my reply to other comment. Where I link issues. Basically you cannot fill forms, multi task or do stuff without the tab reloading on you. This issue has been ongoing since 2020. I changed phones but this issue did not change once. Permalink to that comment: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2013238

I have used Firefox on many smartphones since 2014. It’s not an anecdotal experience of mine. It’s the difference between chromium based browsers on android being more efficient compared to Firefox. Here’s the github issue which was open from 2020, now moved to Bugzilla: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731#event-8105829420

If this did not happen it would not have been kept open for so long. Just search tab reload in closed issues you will people still complaining while the repo was accessible.

Bugzilla issue from 2 years ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752594

Ad banners? I haven’t seen one since forever. I have no idea what you are even talking about.

That may be true on desktop. But, unfortunately, the mobile app is way behind chromium. From being unresponsive, to outright buggy. It’s not a good experince. It’s been 2 years since the rewrite but it’s not getting much better or even close to fixing most of its issue. Meaning, using firefox on android is a handicap on yourself.

Basically, it would start by federating with the fediverse and once it gains traction start adding non-standard (and perhaps proprietary) features. Others would start to get a more broken experince, until to have an uninterrupted experince with you would need be on the threads version of the fediverse.

Not much. Just that lemmy[.]world instance was hacked

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