It’s there on mobile. Check the details tab in tracking protection. You should see it mentioned there.

You are better off using an open source app like Aegis, KeepassDX, among others.

These are miui shenanigans. You can disable chrome in settings and set different browsers as default on most other Roms like oneui, stock android, realmeui, etc. Last time I used miui, I decided never again.

They said PWA. Chrome and Chrome like browsers can install pwa as native apps, aka webapks on your android. Firefox can only add a shortcut where sites can run full screen.

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

Last I knew fdroid didn’t support shizuku. Unless, you talk about 3rd party fdroid clients like droidify and neostore, etc. Also, unless xiaomi borked the adb perms(I’m sure they did like they do for accessibility service apps) shizuku can work with wireless adb.

It would still still prompt that pop-up. That was the case when I had one on android 10. It’s a miui thing unless it gets bypassed for this android API.

There’s a setting to disable scanning of installing apps. Disable it from security app. Also, don’t debloat the security app it will break things for you.

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.

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

They won’t need too. Chrome is the standard.
