  @luetage , in nordic countries with harsh wunter, touchscreens are not so good, I think. Anyway it depends for which you are using the mobile.

  As far as we know Vivaldi has already started work on the webkit version, a possibility that something could perhaps change at some point in the future can’t undo this.

  @Pathduck I use both: A mini-wallet for the cards I use most often, and a traditional wallet for the rest.

  @Vladiaz said in About extra iPhone security?: [I]f your phone is jailbroken, you can also add extra layer of protections Jailbreaking an iPhone is counterproductive, if you want your iPhone to be secure! At least, that's my understanding.

  @mib2berlin maybe it's a device related issue. Tried out Chrome flags too. It's worse than what I am experiencing in Vivaldi. Load the flags page and chrome dies out instantaneously

  I use Vivaldi on my MacBook because Vivaldi is so much more efficient for productivity than any other browser. I would probably not use it on my iPad since it is more my relaxation, hobby platform. Also, the integration of Apple apps like Notes makes Safari more practical on iPad. Nevertheless, I never used any other browser, so I am poor judge in the matter. However, with the upcoming iPadOS 16, it is clear that Apple is serious about positioning the iPad as a true laptop alternative. Hopefully Vivadi Team is considering this.

  @ingolftopf I have put the project on hold because of other, more important tasks. I plan to revisit the problem in a couple of months. @ingolftopf said in Alternative Android app stores: This is not correct. The apps from the 'F-Droid' store are usually of very high quality. I did not talk about the apps hosted on F-Droid, but the F-Droid store/catalog app itself.

  "Although popular, WhatsApp is not a great choice when it comes to privacy because, although it uses E2EE, it allows Facebook to collect and abuse your metadata — who you are talking to, from where, at what time, how often, and from which device. ... Alternatively, you can signup for a free E2EE ProtonMail account, used by millions of people around the world to protect their private conversations." https://protonmail.com/blog/stop-using-sms/

  I have used iPhone for many years. Then I dropped it and it stopped working and I borrowed old Xiaomi R6 for several months. And I didn't notice really big difference. Of course iPhone was better and yes, IOS is more cheerful, but Xiaomi is a budget phone, you can’t compare it with iPhone. Now, on the advice of my friends, I bought Samsung Galaxy S20. And I'm completely satisfied! I like the camera much more (my friend has iPhone 12, so I can compare), the performance is no worse at all, and the price is much lower. And here's the question. Why on earth should I overpay if I can buy exactly the same device, with approximately the same characteristics, much cheaper? Plus, the Android interface is much friendlier than IOS.

  @greybeard Heehee, nice one. Yes this site is a bit disappointing. I thought i had bookmarked a different/better site yonks ago [the one i posted here was only stumbled across serendipitously in my daily reading of HackerNews t'other day], but alas it seems i didn't. When time permits i might spend a few moments on the interwebz trying to find better sites, & also ofc for the essential slide-rule sites [oh joy, i just found this old bookmarked one; phwoah!!!]. Pls all, feel free to post other cool pertinent links here. Tech Pron Rulz.

  @kuhlmanck But is it true that Huawei is making Linux phones and tablets? If so, then he's got a point. We should wish Huawei luck, in promoting Linux as an alternative to iOS and Android!
