GTK itself is a massive pain to get theming working stably. I recently did an update and no I am missing minimize and maximize on all my GTK apps, Im sure the issue is with some config I made at some point, but the fact that this can be an issue at all and be so hard to diagnose is really, really dumb

VLC on android kinda sucks sadly. It has bad performance and when playing remote playlists it’s gui is crap.

I has 64gb so I know your pain lol

Is it better to try and fail 10% of the time, or to not try at all and fail 100% of the time?

Play protect is an extremely useful feature that deters uneducated people from installing APKs because yes, the vast majority of times for normal folk, they are malware ridden. Google does try to prevent malware from getting on the play store, and they actually do a phenomenal job, but in the end, it’s always going to be a cat and mouse game, and shits gonna slip through. It’s still better then not trying at all.

I use fennec fdroid quite often, and a myriad of firefox forks like iceraven. But chromium based browsers are undoubtably the better experience for me, they kill my battery far less, they perform better, and have less bugs, especially when you go to utilize things like desktop mode, and ofc you also inherit many of the same issues that desktop browser has like not being able to properly render gradients https://degmods.com/ is an example of one such website.

and while many people may not care about features like webusb, firefox does lack said features too. This all makes it a very hard sell to replace chrome with firefox.

Personally I use cromite since it integrated ABP with ublock filters so it is fine. If you do want a chromium based browser there are multiple out there. I know a good chunk of people uses misses browser, which while it does look scammy on the webpage, it is open source.

Are there any of them that are actually any decent however? Firefox mobile is fairly slow and a battery hog compared to chromium based browsers.

realistically, it’s not like they will replace them with anything else. Chrome just doesn’t have any actual competitors on android yet. Every promising alternative is more or less just a webview wrapper. Maybe one day we might see servo based browser for android take off. It does actually perform quite well on android for what it is currently.

I have tried both flatpak as well as native and via wine

Sadly kdenlive is still extremely buggy and slow for me.

Even when using proxy clips which are an absolute necessity to get decent performance I still can’t edit at decent performance. This is on a ryzen 2600 and arc a380 which has no problems with other tools even when editing 4k timelines so long as I use low impact codecs on the timeline.

The insane amount of crashes it has makes it really hard to use, I can get by using autosave but its more tedious then it is worth. I keep coming back and trying kdenlive, but I can just never use it. I hope it does good eventually, but for the forseeable future I dont see that happening.

Android 15 (LOS) on my LG G7 thinq 4gb ram, when I have a large number of accounts when syncing them android will run into oom issues even after tweaking oomd

Still using k9mail since fairemail causes me oom issues.

I still find myself looking for other emails tho since i need something that supports mailing list stuff better.

Ungoogled chromium. It’s faster then firefox in nearly everything I test, doesn’t have stupid issues like not rendering gradients properly.

I use firefox on my desktop for one single reason, and that’s because there is literally nothing for chromium, that is remotely close to simple tab groups.

I pretty much just don’t help arch and arch derivatives users any more despite using it for over a decade now. It’s not worth the time nor effort.

Love sherpa, I use it a lot, however I am not sure this is what they wanted. I think they wanted an application that can reliably invoke the TTS engine?

Im still looking for a good androidTV IPTV app that isn’t full of garbage, but other then that, seconding this
