Thank goodness. I’m sick of having a huge phone.

To each their own. Everyone is a hypocrite about something. 😉

I use Boost too! Good stuff.

I always find myself coming back to Vivaldi. Extremely customizable browser. Yes, it’s chromium-based like so many others, but I like it a lot and it’s always gaining fun new features. I keep Firefox as a backup, but often have (relatively minor) performance issues with Firefox, particularly on Android.

I’m in the USA, so if they’re only considering an ad-free offering in Europe as described then my outrage stands. 😉

They’re missing the damned point. I have never used Facebook, but on any service if I’m paying a monthly fee it is to remove myself from the ad-based enshitification.

It’s also what drives me crazy with respect to Microsoft products. I pay for MS 365, and I’d even be willing to pay for Windows if they’d leave me the fuck alone. I pay for ProtonMail and they do leave me alone, so I’ll always stick with them. Any app that I use for which I can pay to remove ads, I do it… unless it’s a subscription and I can’t quite justify the perpetual expense, like for my preferred weather app MyRadar.

Hell, I almost bought into the MyRadar investment pitch until I saw that giving them $400 still wouldn’t net me a lifetime subscription.
