Fucking hell that sounds painful

Great read! Fascinating to read about its growth and eventual fall.

With Google owning VirusTotal and having Google Project Zero, I’m surprised Google doesn’t have its own equivalent to Windows Defender. AFAIK, Play Protect isn’t really that good at spotting malicious apps.

Microsoft Defender for Android (through Microsoft 365) is there for anyone paying for 365. IIRC, T-Mobile customers get Lookout Premium for free.

I would like to thank you for your explanation, captain obvious.

Google doesn’t follow their own design guidelines? I, for one, am shocked! /s

I never used Evernote because I found it too limiting (in 2014). For those who use it, what exactly was/is the appeal of it, or keeps you using it? (I use OneNote for projects, google keep for short scribbles and recently, Microsoft Loop for breaking down information).

I’m honored that after 3 months of no comments, you chose to white knight.

That isn’t your cat; the taskbar date is from 10 years ago. Why lie?

Older Gen Z (98-2003) I believe would remember the terrible UX sci-fi themes, at least I do.

I use a userscript that will like a video (even if not subscribed) if I watch at least 80% of it. As for commenting, it really depends on the topic. Like, if someone needs help on a tutorial, yes. General videos like PewDiePie, no.

As for subscribing, a channel’s content must be interesting and not feel corporate. It always feels good when you find a new youtuber you like!

Question: with this introducing another party into these requests, wouldn’t this be exposing you to another company? If i recall correctly, Firefox connects to cloudflare by default.

So you’re mad because people don’t want to download another app and create another account, and generalizing a whole generation because they don’t want to use signal? You’re just bitter.

As an ad blocker/tracker blocker, AdGuard works really well.

They also have a “browsing security filter” which may be of concern to some people. This filter, similar to smart screen and Google Safe Browsing, will check to make sure websites aren’t in a list.

However, if you have it on, they have a section you can opt in (I think it is opt in) to send extra data to help with the security filter.

That telemetry may seem like too much for some people, but I think it’s the only thing in AdGuard products that collects data, and even then, it’s not for making the filter better and helping its development, not for selling data.

edit two weeks later: Fixed what I meant to say, thankfully people knew what I meant and upvoted.
