Youtube Adblock Reckoning as a service problem?

    • Samsung disables customer phones remotely, holds data hostage until Mexican government stepped in - YouTube

  • Nah, bruh. I'm not arguing. I'm content with my current device with my own threat model. You?

  • Oops. Sorry buddy! I don't use MIUI native/built-in apps. I disabled them right away through ADB.

    Mi Browser is the shittiest mobile browser anyway. As for data collection, Qualcomm collects data from the devices where their SoC built: thanks nextdns lulz

  • Xiaomi does give your data over to Chinese government. I would pick Samsung over Xiaomi any day.

    Oh boy, i DonT gIve dAta tO GoveErnmen. I hope you're using Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. Google can easily blacklist Pixel phones when it was sold outside their market. Samsung and Xiaomi can just inject bloatwares on their devices and request permissions. They are just the same, bad boys.

  • I’m sorry but are you seriously saying Xiaomi is better privacy wise than Samsung?

    Did I say I recommend Xiaomi for privacy? I'm just answering your question, and since you mentioned "Third World country," that brand pops on me. They're cheap, they're functional, and last up to a day. Privacy? That I don't know of. Most smartphones collect data anyway, unless you replace it to GrapheneOS, or any privacy-focused custom ROM.

    Regarding of unlocking device, I'm just using a disposable phone number and email on my Xiaomi Account. That's it.

  • Personally, I'm using Redmi Note 11 because it's cheap and I can replace its ROM (MIUI EU or some AOSP-based ROMs).

    Nothing Phone 2 is available in some third-world countries, though. If you're on tight budget, then Xiaomi.

  • Another reason not to live in Mexico. LMAO buy Samsung smartphones.

    • Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users

    Jump

  • This is just an merch ad from your subscribed channel. I rather see these ads than some random ad pops up every 2-5mins.

  • Chinese Android phones came bundled with third-party app store. Huawei, after US embargo, still has strong presence in Asia even without Google Play Store. Xiaomi has GetApp, Samsung has, too.

    Apple, on the other hand, would not let you sideload apps.

    • Best ad-free simple multiplayer games?

    Jump

  • Just use third-party DNS resolvers with ad-blocking feature.

    • Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?

    Jump

  • Indeed. Most apps I got on the homepage, mostly fast cash lending apps, were developed from China, and then outsourced its customer-based services to my country.

    • Chrome on iOS supports moving the address bar to the bottom. Why not Android?

    Jump

  • Recent Firefox Android releases reload a recently-visited website whenever I'm switching an app and go back to browser after a few seconds. Sometimes, it doesn't load. I've been using Firefox since 2021, and this was never happened to me before.

    Jump

  • Play Store doing this since September, at least in my region (SE Asia). If you disabled personalized ads on your Google Account, Play Store homepage displays ads that are frequently installed from your country/state.

    • Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

    Jump

  • Nothing phones have excessive notification LEDs at the back of devices, and they are customizable.

    Nothing is a OnePlus' successor
