    The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

    And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.

      There’s only one competitor, apple, and also, I don’t think that firefox mobile is that good. It’s better than chrome, and I’m using it, but I don’t know why would a device with 12gb of ram, a high-res display, a processor that can run warzone can’t run the normal version of firefox with a different ui. I think it just splits development, and I don’t like how it’s always behind in development, and how it lacks features.

        Apple doesn’t have functioning adblock on safari. There are a handful of extensions that promise to and none of them work as well as ublock

    The absolute most salient proof of the inadequacy of market capitalism is that when the mobile market consolidated, THESE are the two choices we wound up with. Talk about a giant douche and a turd sandwich…

    The new android file permissions are actually terrible. It’s broken so much stuff and made the whole os much less useful.

    What phone you got? My busted ass OnePlus 7 still runs pretty quick, least fast enough that I never complain. Was thinking about replacing it with a Fairphone 5 when the time comes, which even feels fast enough to me despite the limited hardware in that.

    OP, I mostly agree with what you’re saying about Android. I’ve been a user since 2010, and development of mainline Android stagnated about a decade ago. Google isn’t really trying very hard anymore. I got an iPhone this round as my main device. I still have plenty of other Android devices as well as my last phone (OnePlus 8T) that I will continue to use, but I’m enjoying most of the change in user experience to iOS. It’s smoother and better thought out in most respects.

    If your device is really that slow though, are you sure the battery is good? They will definitely slow down when the battery ages to prevent sudden shutdowns if the CPU were to try to use more power than the battery can supply. I think that a bad battery can do the same even if it’s not old.

    If not that, how is the custom ROM scene for your phone? That may be a solution if it’s possible. Manufactures like Samsung sometimes go overboard with additions to the OS that just screw things up. Samsung was probably the worst offender in this regard back when the first Galaxy devices launched.

      Yup. I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone when my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition died (RIP, prince of phones) and I’ve enjoyed it greatly. iOS has come a LONG way in the last decade or so.

        It’s almost as though Apple’s main focus is selling devices instead of harvesting user data for ads. iOS has so many anti-tracking and privacy features built into it that I feel exhausted thinking about all the mods I need to make to factory software on an Android phone to bring it up to the same level.

        Certainly iOS has its flaws, and I miss easier ad blocking, but overall I’m more satisfied with the experience.

      If you’re still using your 14 year old android, then they probably hadn’t implemented the planned obsolescence feature to that phone yet. Sometimes they forget to do that with early models.
