I mean they’re just resellers of the big guys’ network. I think Mint is a reseller of T-Mobile. Verizon has its own branded reseller labels. It all goes through the big guys’ network anyways so could they even claim that?
I mean I’ve definitely seen signs at checkout lines at grocery stores. I’ve also been asked when buying large amounts of gift cards what my reason for buying them was (in a very kind way, I would add).
Interestingly, this coating can cause issues for some products like the Apple AirTags. I know this because I used one of these batteries with a bitterest in the AirTag on my keys and the AirTag didn’t work.
Funny, I actually started out with them disabled but I re-enabled them in the past year since I’m terrible at mistyping.
I wish there were a way for only the app to know which sites you’ve visited previously so it could do a better job of helping my typos without exposing that data to websites you visit.
Edit: oh I also wish you could have the address bar on the bottom :/
I forgot to mention a fringe benefit of Firefox Focus: I feel like it forces me to do a better job of not just opening a webpage and telling myself I’ll read it later (I never do). Since the session is ephemeral and the webpage will be gone if I don’t read it right away, I actually get down to reading the articles more often.
This may also be a side effect of Lemmy, though, since there’s less content here than on reddit.
Every time you close the app (swipe up on the app switcher) or use the trash button it cleans every bit of cached or stored data including cookies, so every time you open it you have a fresh browsing session and it’s harder to be followed around the web.
Obviously inconvenient for banking or the like, so I also have Firefox (regular) installed which stores my login sessions.
I just like keeping stuff plugged into one side so that I can rest the edge of the other side against my leg without having to worry about bending devices
Boss, you ain’t gonna believe it
