    sad to hear it. used mull as my primary browser, and wanted to switch to divestos from calyx. I guess not anymore, then :/

        to be honest I don’t have a list at hand, but one of the reasons is that (I don’t remember which of the following) either they are more friendly to root users, or they are more friendly to those who don’t want unattended automatic system upgrades. I had to disable the updater app like disabling other apps for it to let me stop updates happening without my approval, which I want for 2 reasons:

        1. the occassional downgrades and breaking changes coming from upstream google engineers
        2. calyx not using the addon.d thing for some reason so Magisk does not get automatically installed to the upgraded system’s boot partition, which technically is also kind of a breaking change

        maybe I have read something about built-in features as well, but I’m not sure about that. it was a few months ago when I was reading up on this.

          Oh, i see. root seems like a tremendously bad idea, and a I appreciate their auto updates (especially like last week after google completely force-broke maps without play services and calyx had a fix within a week).

            that’s a personal choice. I have chosen its benefits

            and a I appreciate their auto updates

            yeah auto updates are good, that’s no question, but forced auto updates are not at all. or are we really only angry when windows does it?
