I had no idea how much I was missing history syncing between my desktop and phone!

najodleglejszy Link ParentI did, and the same thing happens. links open fine from the home page, but tapping on them when in the thread already doesn't do anything. I'll just stick to using the Chrome Bromite shortcut.I did, and the same thing happens. links open fine from the home page, but tapping on them when in the thread already doesn't do anything.

najodleglejszy Link ParentI tried using Hermit but it makes Tildes buggy sometimes. for example if you load a thread and then tap an outbound link, it won't load. I don't have that problem when using a browser shortcut.I tried using Hermit but it makes Tildes buggy sometimes. for example if you load a thread and then tap an outbound link, it won't load.

I'm not really curious about drugs drugs, either.
sugar is my vice, and I can't be trusted with any sort of candy because I'll devour all of it instantly no matter the amount I'm offered, but I've been trying to limit that, too.

I know Android Pie allows you to change your DNS server and some ad blocking/VPN apps let you do that too (Blokada and Adguard, for example), but I'm not sure if LOS offers a similar setting out of the box.

and almost to a fault - you can even set it so it asks you every time an all is trying to use a permission instead of granting it once and forever. -

on my Android phone:- system-wide ad blocker (Blokada) installed with some analytics domains blacklisted
- Firefox Focus as main browser, with Bromite for when I want to save my logins and history for some websites
- tend to use either paid apps from devs whom I trust (Nova Launcher, Solid Explorer, Poweramp, Moon Reader) or FOSS:
AnySoftKeyboard
Slide for Reddit
Newpipe for watching Youtube videos
Standard Notes
Antennapod for podcasts
Signal for chatting (although I mostly use it as an SMS client :/)
Simple Calendar with calendar stored offline
Simple Gallery
MAPS.ME fork with analytics and ads removed for offline maps - while I do use Instagram and Snapchat, I deny the apps most permissions that I have no use for, including location
- have most Google apps disabled or uninstalled
I also use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, I'm slowly moving from Gmail to Tutanota (although there are some growing pains in that regard), manage my logins with Bitwarden for unique passwords, and use 2FA codes with AndOTP.
I could probably be doing more but hey, I figure it's better than nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm currently using a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. add the headphone jack and replace the software with a custom ROM with microG and bam, perfect smartphone.
