I, too, thouht that, until I realised that the iOS clients are terrible in comparison with Android. :-(

FYI, Firefox has limited support for addons on mobile devices, so you would be able to us Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, AdGuard, etc.

From your linked article:

> If the charger provides 800V and a minimum of 300A, the Taycan can charge from five to 80 per cent in 22.5 minutes.

Wow! That's an insanely huge amount of current. Obviously the cables would have to be very thick to reduce transmission losses, but then you'd also have to have sufficient insulation/protection at 800V!

That works if you're browsing from a fixed location.

By contrast, browser extensions work wherever you are -- at work, in a bus/train, in a hotel, etc.

"designs preparing unit" = graphics processing unit (GPU)

"focal preparing unit" = central processing unit (CPU)

"individual computerized collaborator" = personal digital assistant (PDA)

It really is quite hilarious.

Yup[1], it's a pity because it will greatly reduce the network effect needed to get enough people using the app.

The business solution would be... buy one! :-P

I've found Shotcut[1] to be pretty good. It's not quite professional, but not at all hard to learn as an amateur. It is also open source, and works on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Thank you for that hint! I always thought it wasn't possible, so I didn't even try typing.

International SMS is quite expensive and sometimes unreliable.

iMessage is only for Apple devices.

While changing the reported device names can just make the VM a little less obvious, I suspect there will always be clues that indicate a VM. For example:

- Do network adapter MAC vendor ID's make sense?

- Does the hard drive size make sense?

- Which 3D acceleration features are supported/work correctly?

- How much graphics RAM is there?

- Timing-based methods

It's a bit like detecting private/incognito mode in a browser. Everything worked great, until websites realised there are ways to detect it, then became a game of cat and mouse.

Looks like grid view of open tabs[1] will also be available on Android. It's good to see the Android version improving together with the desktop version, since it's pretty much the only mainstream Android browser to support extensions.

I found it to be my USB mouse. I'd already disabled the option to wake the PC in the mouse device, but then found out that you also have to do that with a separate "keyboard" device[1]. But ever since disabling the option on both devices, things have become a lot better.

I think you'll be very happy to find out that Dark Reader is now supported on Firefox on Android:

Right, it looks like it should be coming soon to Win10 2021H1:

Looks interesting, but seems to be based on electron. I use avidemux[1] for lossless video/audio editing, works really well.

I hope this comes to Firefox for Android soon!

Sounds interesting, but the video doesn't seem to be available anymore. I'd be interested if anyone has a working link!

Is it even possible to access about:config on Android? In the new Daylight Firefox, I just get an error page.

There are a whole lot of other options I'd like to set...

Yes, there is, but it requires you to scan a code with your mobile phone before you can use it!

Snapdrop[1] works quite well if you're on the same network. It's cross platform, you only need a reasonably recent web browser.

The author talks about "top notch Microsoft Office compatibility", including formatting. However, something relatively simple, such as "Center Accross Selection" cell formatting in Excel does not display correctly in OnlyOffice. Hmm...

It killed my Android tablet running Firefox! First everything slowed down, then the status bar disappeared, then... black screen. Had to restart.

Yes, this is a good option for some.

However, the ZOOM web client lacks quite a few features, including viewing the video of more than one participant at a time. I believe it's also not possible to share audio. So if you need to do any of these things, you really still have to install the ZOOM client on your computer!

Looks pretty good, but it also seems to have stagnated. Latest commit was in January 2019. It would be nice to have a shorter URL for rooms, so it's easier to share with others.

Sounds very related to the situation with "left-behind children" in China[1] (留守儿童), where parents leave their children with their extended family so they can work in larger cities. This has already caused massive social problems.

The major problem in China is that Duo doesn't work at all, where as FaceTime works quite reliably.
