I respectfully request that you not refer to me using slurs
It still is. I use a custom collection, and adding extensions is a huge pita because you practically have to use Jedi mind tricks to get Mozilla to show all the extensions on Android.
That said, Libredirect works just fine on Fennec once it’s installed.

There are no games I really care about that much tbh. I’ve never been someone who needs to play a certain game
You’re welcome. Maybe I’ll see you in the forums someday, inshallah.
I’m that average Joe! In fact, I’m using Linux Mint, which is extremely easy to use and navigate. In fact, I’ve found it much easier to learn than Windows.
So far, I haven’t missed anything. I mostly stream content and use the internet. I haven’t tried much gaming, but it seems to be well supported.
My only barrier I’m aware of for gaming are multiplayer games that require anti-cheat software, but I don’t play such games anyway.
There are a few other little things. For example, since I use my mini PC for content streaming, I had to connect it directly to the TV via USB and use a wireless keyboard to navigate since that’s my primary way to watch movies. (Screen mirroring isn’t supported.) Another example is Proton VPN works on Linux but behaves weirdly. If I forget to disconnect, then next time I launch Linux I have to manually reconnect to wifi, which is weird, but the forums helped me immediately.
The Linux Mint forums are super good: https://forums.linuxmint.com/
So yeah, I literally just started using it, and my experience has been much less frustrating than trying to wrestle with Windows.
Edit: Linux Mint Cinnamon is what I’m using.
My thoughts exactly. Whatever small sacrifices I may have to make by switching to Linux are vastly outweighed by having an OS that doesn’t harvest my data and which has a community that actually cares and provides real support.
Windows 11 was my tipping point. I have to use it at work, and there’s no way I’d install that on my devices at home.
I’m already running Linux on my laptop and mini PC.

I’ll keep an eye on it, thanks!
Good question! I wish I knew, but unfortunately this is outside the scope of my knowledge. Someone on !privacyguides@lemmy.one could probably tell you immediately
Hi, have you switched to using Accressent? Do you like it more than Droid-ify?

StreetComplete! You can contribute to OpenStreetMap while walking around and having fun. It’s super fun and satisfying to unlock achievements while contributing to a useful project.

You can do it that way if you grab that URL from the “cookies” section. Otherwise, it can save your preferences in a cookie.
Afaik you need an extension. The best one I’ve found is called User-Agent Switcher.
It even works for me on Android, for the Firefox builds that support sideloading addons.
It makes those old geocities sites look tasteful by comparison
Hilarious to read this, considering how much trash talk I heard about FO4 soon after its release.
People also spent years talking about how bad ESO is, and when I finally played it … it’s great, just like FO4.
I’ll be interested to see how/if opinions change about Starfield over time. I’ll still wait to play it because I’m a patient gamer, but I’ve come to distrust anyone’s takes about Bethesda games.
