google uses blink which is forked from WebKit

ah yes! the good old video.mp4.exe

you see, they aren't fucking up chrome

they are fucking up the internet

basically, its like gaining superuser access on Linux (sudo su)

rooting means gaining root access of android device

in Linux file systems, root is the base folder called / and then comes other folders

like(simplified) /Downloads/boku_no_pico means boku_no_pico is in downloads folder which is inside root

so now, in traditional android based os, there are some folders which are not permitted to be accessed like system folder and rooting means gaining access to that folder, which gives you access to modifying any property of the system

some negatives are that there are some crappy services who think rooting is only/mostly done by bad actors who are trying to abuse their services (basically Netflix, bank apps) so they try to block rooted users from using their services

but these dumb big tech employees can't even do one thing properly, hiding root is really easy once you get used to it, so now bad actors can still abuse their system and honest users suffer

no problem :)

just accepting this made me happy

have a nice day!

as the other commenter said, you don't need

USAA bank app works on grapheneos here is a report - https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

gcam can be downloaded via play store or aurora store

about ui of apps, none of them are as good as ios

lineages is focused more on customisability and features and device longevity

grapheneos is focused on security and privacy

many features implemented in grapheneos has been upstreamed in aosp(base) android

one disadvantage of grapheneos' approach is it stops updating after vendor(google) stops updating the firmware as it considers the device depricated

but using a custom ROM will require you to root, which breaks most banking apps.

this is misinformation

installing a custom rom doesn't require root in fact, some custom roms advice you against it like divestos, grapheneos, calyxos and some more

you read?

this community is specifically about reddit, like we talk about reddit here

go to some other community and ignore this one

still kinda uncomfortable

try flatpak version or appimage version, I've seen better results for apps on those formats in terms of ease of use

I like how you have mentioned your instance name in username to distinguish between your alt accounts

people when they learn about unlock origin works better with firefox

I bet most people saying chrome is faster don't even know about adblockers or are using Google's websites

you can switch to lineage os
