That’s also true. I only got the 8 Pro after the complaints died down almost a year after launch precisely because of that.

I have the 8 Pro, and honestly, with another 6 years of updates ahead for it, I see absolutely no reason to take the leap for such a premium. Go with the 8, the “upgrade” isn’t worth all that money.
It’s not a title, it’s an opinion. Having said that, I agree, it’s terrible as a title. Fixed (I think).
The US stopped being civilized a while ago.
That brings it’s own share of risks as well. Like getting scammed for example.
I use Vanadium for that level.
In all honesty, I am not sure if you can sync, but I think I’ve seen librewolf and Mull being able to sign in to a Firefox account. I don’t sync anything unless I self-host, so I have my linkwarden for all my bookmarks needs.
I’ve heard of a self-hosted alternative to Firefox accounts, but I would need to research that a bit.
Librewolf for anything that does work, Brave for anything that works only on Chromium based, and Mullvad for all the crazy.
On Android it’s Mull and Mulch.
I get that, and it makes sense. What pisses me off is that this is the type of information all users should have access to before they decide to sign up or not.
That sneaky shit is what made me start on the track of removing myself from all the mainstream networks out there.
And, of course, they want you to login or sign up to be able to read that page.
That’s an across the board thing. But yes, that’s l a removed.
Your “ideally would want” pretty much locks you to a Pixel phone. The 7 has serious radio issues, the 8 works great (I had the 7 Pro now have the 8 Pro, no always on GrapheneOS) and don’t know about the 9, but other that all the AI bullshit they are pushing with it, I don’t really see that the specs justify those prices, specially since you’re looking at installing GrapheneOS on it.
I like Calyx quite a bit. It’s considerably more private than any stock Android out there. However, from my perspective, GrapheneOS is the best mobile os out there for security and privacy too, hands down.
I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 Pro, tried Calyx back when I had the 6 Pro, and it pretty good and everything basically works, but GrapheneOS from the beginning is so vanilla, only has a couple of apps installed (phone, sms, Calc, files and such), everything else you need to choose to install.
CalyxOS also allows to relock bootloader on some devices (not sure if only Pixels though).
And now I’ll never go to a game again. Fuck’em.
The content of this document is not accessible. Nevertheless, a request for access can be sent to the Access to documents department.
Shady as fuck too.
That’s debatable. It will depend on how radical we each are willing to be about our privacy individually.
For example, I have a friend that is sort of a privacy freak like me, however, he’s chosen to keep WhatsApp because some of the people in his life won’t use anything else.
I, on the other hand, do not have a single mainstream app or social network. Those who never heeded my warning 8 years ago that I was killing it all, and if they wanted to talk with me it was either Signal or visit me, basically fell off of the world for me.
Those I really care about have gone as far as moving to SimpleX with me. Most still use mainstream crap, but they chose to add SimpleX to their apps so that we can keep in contact regularly.
What I’m saying is, your success at how much you keep from the paws of big tech and big brother (regardless of where you live) will be inversely proportional to your ability to give a fuck. The less fucks you give, the more ground you’ll cover.
If you must, the least invasive of the wearables that don’t suck is Garmin. Get a Garmin watch that supports it.
Paying with NFC does lower the risk of getting a card cloned. The payment generates a unique code that’s worth only what you paid.
