As far as I can tell, it's always used ActivityPub for instances to communicate with each other, with video streaming mainly facilitated using WebTorrent on the backend to keep use of the host low.

You mean Peertube?

Yeah, but that's still an extra expense. Most people using Google VPN were using it because they were already paying for Google One.

The only plus in this situation is that switching VPNs is far easier than other services since it's just a pipe you're swapping out.

Still annoying though, since Google VPN was nice if you were already paying for Google One. Now people will have to pay extra for something else.

Unfortunately, the lack of Japanese input makes it a total non-starter for my use case so I had to go crawling back.

Ack, I also need that. Oof. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

Just trying to read the news on my phone kills its battery because of all the ads and crap. I'm just reading, why is my phone's battery draining like water? Hence Ad blocker is mandatory.

Just FYI, iPhones don't have fingerprint sensors in the screen. Older models with fingerprint sensors have a capacitive sensor in a physical home button/capacitive pad.

Newer iPhone's exclusively use FaceID for biometrics, which uses the camera array at the top of the device.

LOL, that's fair. That's messed with me before too.

A bunch of websites operating as web apps would help explain the bloat. Great idea if somebody is navigating a good chunk of your website. Horrible idea if 99% of your traffic is people being linked to a news article and then leaving afterwards.

My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.

“An iPhone contains its owner’s important personal data including financial, health, and location information, and this bill introduces the possibility that Apple would be required to allow unknown, non-secure third-party Face ID or Touch ID modules to unlock that personal information,” Apple said in a statement on March 4.

What BS. Sure, making sure every fingerprint sensor or whatever has a unique signature would allow you to lock a module to a device to prevent tampering and security bypass. But you should be able to just enter a password or recovery code in order to authorize a new part to be used with your device's security, then it'll be the customers responsibility to make sure that the part operates as it should. None of Apple's business.

For me Simple Tab Groups add-on works great, but it might be overkill for others. I can understand wanting something simpler and sleeker.

I use Simple Tab Groups personally. Been working for years. Might be overkill for some though.

There are various add-ons for this on Firefox so it's never bothered me.

Also worth checking AreWeAntiCheatYet? if you play online games. Some work with Linux, some need elbow grease, others purposefully break it.
