It’s just because it’s the toolbar rewritten in Jetpack Compose rather than the old one which was written with XML and used a custom parser.

Yep, bookmark feels like something no one needs with any regularity.

There’s also some new secret settings for the new toolbar.

It’s good but slow. Though I may just be unreasonable.

Don’t forget this too

Making a browser is ridiculously hard. Getting people to use it even harder.

As I said, I have a low memory device so I’m talking from experience.

In fact Google itself says that devices with less than 6GB of RAM should be running Android Go rather than Android 16.

Honestly, devices designed to be obsolete are a pain for everyone. We need devices that are designed to be usable in a few years, that means shipping them with decent processors, memory and storage. By Android 17, the minimum memory requirement is likely to be 8GB and there’s going to be a bunch of people wondering why some apps, the more complex ones like browsers, don’t run smoother.

Maybe a solution is that Firefox starts serving older devices an ESR.

Okay, that’s the problem. 4GB of RAM isn’t enough for modern Android. I know because it’s what I have on my tablet and it’s bullshit, if I use certain apps, others in the background are force closed, etc. All I can say is that with some of the changes taking place with the switch to Jetpack Compose, Firefox is getting better in terms of a smaller memory footprint, but that’s little consolation for you now and your urgent/present needs.

BTW, well done for using a private DNS for stopping the problem at the root.

What phone do you have? And are you running anything like an anti virus?

Most users don’t change defaults. It’s the default in both Android and iOS.

RCS is an upgrade on SMS. The whole point of rooting is to circumvent restrictions, so wait for someone to stop shit talking modern protocols and figure out how to get it working. The idea that rooting was about making things easier was always a myth. It was never that.

Even just getting a picture risks this. It’s so ridiculous. A TOTP code makes so much more sense.

The UK is a decent sized market. It’s harder to ignore than you’d think.

My bad, sorry.

Oh, I genuinely didn’t know that. Sorry.

Obsidian?

Oh? Thanks for teaching me. I thought ML was the precursor to AI, but not actually AI.

It’s all just to impress investors. I don’t dispute that everyone is scrambling towards AI, but machine learning isn’t AI, most of it was barely machine learning. This, definitely isn’t AI. I used to have weather summaries on my vBulletin board. If there's a sunny.gif, echo "it's sunny, with highs of" . {high}…
