1·5 minutes agoIs it fully proxied though? Some custom YouTube APIs use instances but they only store your history, subscriptions and stuff.
Then it’s a bug
I switched to Wayland after GNOME 46 release because it fixed the issues I had with it (artifacts and persistent display failures). Many people may still prefer X11 at least because of the lack of input latency on slow machines.
Hmm in my case many packages were in package.x86_64 format or something similar.
As I said, recommendations of buying a new device will be met with hostility so here we go.
you can’t really do anything with planned obsolescence.
This is very much not true. There are things you can’t do (like make a 1980s Macintosh be able to browse modern Reddit and play CP2077) but you really can do a lot to fight planned obsolescence. Custom ROMs, Linux distros, RAM upgrades, alternative front-ends/apps and the list goes on. In many cases it makes the devices usable. I know you may want planned obsolescence to continue its existence in case you’re working in an evil organization that makes it happen but I am not falling for it. There’s also the ecological impact of it that is very serious if you ask me.
Facebook itself works pretty well on the device and it’s actually not much slower than on the person’s main phone which is an almost flagship one. I was just curious if I can install Chromium to experiment with it.
And thank you for reminding me of alternative front-ends. I might take a look at it.
Thorium doesn’t care much about security that is essential in my case.
Didn’t expect a recommendation of Chinese proprietary software in this community ngl.
Isn’t Fennec just the codename of the official Android version of Firefox?
Mulch needs A8.
The phone is already on LOS. There are no newer ROMs for it that don’t break 99% of the features, including IMEI.
Security is a big concern because the users click on malicious links every day no matter how much I tell them it’s a bad idea.
It goes for like $80-120 in my country. For the price it’s an interesting deal but it’s extremely old so GrapheneOS won’t support it. I think you can still find something like LineageOS or crDroid but tbh it’s too old for a new daily driver. Lack of firmware updates will kill custom ROMs due to incompatibility with new Android versions eventually (and most likely very soon).
Compact phones are dead now and the last ones don’t even seem to support degoogled custom ROMs. You’re out of lack with that.

I love the fact that it’s optional.
I wish it was proxied like LibreTube.
Mozilla is getting exponentially worse in the recent few years so that’s expected.
I guess Mull uses Firefox user agent to reduce fingerprinting and the Mozilla website thinks it’s fake Firefox because of it.
Alright then I guess Chromium isn’t an option. Thanks for the information.
The people that are using the phone click malicious links almost every day. Old versions are out of question because of security.
I don’t think the phone has eMMC health issues. It’s just too slow for modern browsers.
and use another browser
What can you recommend? WebView browsers will have security patches from 2016 on that device.
Cromite only supports arm64 and x86
EDIT: mulch only supports A8 and higher
6·1 day agoIf it finds 0 trackers on Reddit, it does not work. Why don’t you just install a tracker blocker extension to your browser and see what it says instead?
Ok I guess I am actually blind. I checked many times and didn’t see the arm file. Now I see it. I’ll try it when I can.
Also the phone is already on a custom ROM. There are newer ones but they break absolutely everything, including IMEI.
