Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I recently upgraded a 10 year old device with a Macbook (first time owner!) and was not impressed with how MacOS operates. Cue to me installing things like Swipe, Bartender, etc. I would have kept happily updating this program without your bringing it to my attention, so THANK YOU!

I remember being a young dumb kid and downloading a program that would turn my Windows XP theme into a Vista theme. It worked, but I didn’t understand at the time that my computer was way too crappy to even think about running something like that. Good times, man.

Why not just use Apple Maps for now, until you find one that works better for you?

Right, my government also gave me a number at my birth. They know where I live, they know how much I make and where I work. The third party, ID.me, definitely does NOT need any of my information, since the entity that is taxing me, already does.

The catch is that it requires ID.me, and there is no way in hell I’m giving some third party a picture of my fucking drivers license.

It’s to prevent you from accidentally deleting a photo you would never want to delete. If you want to make sure it’s deleted, you just go into the Photos app and delete it from the Recently Deleted folder. I prefer this approach, as I have accidentally deleted a photo that I did not mean to, and luckily it was still there. Use cases are different though, so.

I use a VPN at all times, because I want to, and I have now learned to not Google anything as it takes me to these CAPTCHAs that I refuse to do. Bing may be crappy too, but at least it doesn’t block me from a simple search. There is no reason, in my opinion, to block a VPN from SEARCHING something. Disgusting.

This new Bitwarden 2FA does backup and restore! It was also important to me, as I had a phone stolen one time and without my backed up “emergency codes”, I’d been SOL! :)

Also, since it looks like you’re on iPhone, Paprika 3. Worth every penny.

And if you are not the most tech savvy, read through the options to make sure it is what you need removed. Removing everything might break some things, because M$.

I can safely say that removing the telemetry is absolutely essential. Remove it from Firefox, and (ew) Chrome (ew, ew) alongside Windows telemetry because fuck that shit.

“Features” lmfao!

In all seriousness, remove actual beneficial features? No. Remove the shit that people have been complaining about for ages? Yes, but I guess we are all in on losing people eventually.

We, as in the people who have seen this shit before, and refuse to fall for it.

There’s some reading for you to do, so that you understand the risks involved with letting some asshat company, who does not give a flying fuck about you, have even more leverage on the internet than they already do.

Yeah, no. The issue is we don’t want corpos using the EEE standard as they have with mostly everything internet wise.

If people want to use Lemmy, make a fucking account, join an instance, and WOW look at that, we grew!

You can set containers to open every time you go to the website!

For example, I have a YouTube container, and every time I open YouTube, it opens in the container even if it was in a Nexus Mods container or anything like that. Once you have a website in view that you want to always open in a specific container, you can click at the very right side of the address/search bar, and it is an icon just like the containers icon. It says Always Open in or something like that. I hope that helps you streamline your containers! 😁

I love having features, that’s fine with me, but when their biggest “draws” are the tabs thing, then I am with you. Like, okay? How is the extension support? What does their privacy features look like? What does it do that makes my browsing more pleasant? Oh, just tabs tabs and more tabs…? Next!

Finally, someone who uses their browser like me! I keep my Firefox the same, and with containers, I still stay logged in, but don’t have to worry about cookies being left over.

Like you, I’ve never understood how people can handle having 10+ tabs open at once. I have my YouTube tab always up and ready to go, and the rest of the time it is a tab to search, open the link in new tab, and so on and so on. It gives me anxiety looking at the mess that some people have on their browsers! It’s the equivalent of having your entire desktop filled with shortcuts and folders!

Don’t get me wrong, I know more than my normal 5 tabs can be needed at times, I’ll put my own reasons below. But every single day? Closing the browser and having it load more than 5-10 tabs again every single time? No wonder people complain about Firefox being slow, their browsing habits cause it! 😂

The most tabs I’ve ever had open was only to download multiple mods off of nexus that looked cool back before they made Collections a god send. Now I don’t have to do that any more. 😁

God, yes! I see updates like this and just go, “Cool, moving on” because I have no idea what it does, and if you’re trying to get me to adopt your cool thing, I’m going to need more then what appears to be some random strings of words. 😅

Hyrule is a big place, and I can tell rolling is faster, so…

“Hyeh! Huh! Hyeh! Huh! Ha! Ha! Hyeh!”

Shocking. Truly shocking.

Oh, yeah! That app that totally EVERYBODY uses even though it’s really garbage for information! 🤠
