Delusion6903 , 11 days ago to Technology in Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang

I love Signal and use it with my family which is the majority of my messaging. But I was surprised to find out the rest of my family on iPhone are missing features I have on Android. This doesn't help bring the iPhone users.

I use following feed the most, but now that I think about it I need to check out the other feeds more often to find interesting follows. Same goes for trending and discover features, yeah, I'm on Pixeldroid. I rarely use the web too.

Ok, I've now had time to check this out. Android Firefox is set to strict Enhanced Tracking Protection which says offers fingerprint protection. If that is capping my refresh rate, then I can't see it. Scrolling is smooth.

In contrast, Mull is distractingly flashy when scrolling. There is absolutely something different going on here.

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Is Mull a good private browser for android?

Ok, that actually sounds encouraging to me. Honestly, on Android Firefox I don't see the option for resist fingerprinting. I am using Strict Enhanced Tracking protection but that isn't affecting refresh. What am I missing?

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Is Mull a good private browser for android?

Does Firefox standard fingerprint resistance include the refresh rate? Because I use Firefox over mull on Android because of the drastic difference when scrolling.

Those are the particular interactions for which I have used usernames. People I know have me in contacts. Also, iirc, if I change usernames in the middle of a conversation that conversation is able to continue until I delete it. Plenty of time to pass on a new name if desired.

And that is exactly why I find it unusable. I have a 120 Hz phone slowed down to a hideous 60 Hz. This is why use Firefox instead of mull.

I don't disagree with you either. But I think that when people give their phone number to a business they are often unaware of all of the nefarious ways it will be used, whether by ignorance or deception.

My point is just that replaceable usernames are perfect for random people you meet IRL or on the Internet because it's minimal trouble to disconnect permanently when the time comes.

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Signal Names

I have given names to people on the Internet and changed names after our conversation was finished. I think that is much better than giving someone a phone number and much easier to change.

I suppose that's why you can accept the message or not. I believe they can be reused.

Cool. Do you know Elvira's handle?

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Is Mull a good private browser for android?

I know it's intended, but I find it unusable. Report what you want, but disconnect from the actual refresh rate. Best of both worlds.

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Is Mull a good private browser for android?

It would be perfect except that the fingerprint protection includes forcing the screen refresh rate to the lowest common denominator. Scrolling is unbearable.

They need to report whatever number they want while always using the highest rate instead.

Delusion6903 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Downsides of Signal alternatives compared to Signal?

Signal has read receipts, reactions and typing indicators. That's 90% of what any messenger needs. It also let's you schedule texts. I do wish it would do reminders and pinch to resize text though.
