  • Back then internet users werent normies, but nreds and tech savy people. Also, chrome learned from IE's mistakes. It wont stop functioning and will keep updating, so the average normy user wont mind.

  • Dont know. Pixel 6 is my first pixel phone. I had galaxy in which this was the default, and onePlus which provided the option.

    The navigation bar also doesnt have other options, like making it appear constantly and not disappear on random occasions.

    Im happy for you that you like your phone though.

  • It obviously has the gestures, but i prefer the 3 button navigation. However, it is barely supported. The back button is the most important button of the 3, but it is only available on the lefr side, meaning it is far away from the thumb for right handed people. This is the first phone i have ever seen that doesnt allow swaping the side of it.

  • I like pixel from a price to hardware performance ratio, but fuck the software side. Need a custom launcher coz the official one forces google calender to cover a whole line in your homescreen, and google search takes up a whole line on EVERY PAGE ON YOUR APPS HOME (why the bloody hell do i need this google search icon? It opens up some weird browser that is even worse than chrome). A million and one google product "suggestions" are being thrown at you for the first month of usage, official music app is youtube music, so literally everytime you open ot you need to tell it "yes im sure i want to use my offline music and not subscribe to youtube music", the customizable shortcuts are basically "this can either activate google assistent or do nothing", the worst 3 button navigation bar i have ever seen - You cant even swap the back button from left to right and jt hides itself at random occasions, evetytime you open your SMS you need to tell it you dont want to use google's weird internet based sms feature (yes, it never stops suggesting it until you agree, 6 months already). The automatic adjustable brightness is terrible and already blinded me randomly when i tried to browse the internet before going to bed, the automatic screen wqkeup is junky at best, it has a weird feature that every time you.lay your phone over the screen it locks with no way to turn that off. Call recording apps barely work, closing all open apps it purposely innefficient (you have to scroll all the way left instead of it being immediatly available), the permission option of "ask every time" is broken because every third time it stops asking you to enable it and you have to enable the permission constantly and later remove it again.

    Fuck google's OSes.

  • This shit basically killed reddit as a proffesional information aourcr ror me. No im not gonna log into reddit on my work pc, i just need to be looking for technical data i can find elsewhere.

    Once you lose your convenience status you are doomed to die a slow death into becoming a niche old website.

  • This. I have a pixel and i despise the launcher. Google search bar locked to the bottom of every screen, google calender locked to the main screen. The 3 buttons navigation bar is the worst i have seen and has zero customization options.

  • Google offers free voice to text engine APIs and constantly listens on your phone for "hello google" or however their phrase goes. So if it is constantly listenning to you anyways, why not also filter for other keywords like "buy" "like" "want" ?

  • Opera is chromium based though.

    You dont even need this DRM bullshit to become law. Chrome will simply put a warning before entering websites without it that goes "this website doesnt use name of a technology the user doesnt understand and therefore might be dangerous". Thats it. Every and all websites will immediatly implement this DRM bullshit or die.
