- Comment on Is there a way to select specific frequency bands on common Android smartphones (something with custom ROM support) besides giving root access to closed-source app like NSG? 1 day ago:
the NSG app you linked seems pretty good, i’d try if it works

supermium is slower than newer chromium because they redirect certain system calls to some external dll that causes overhead iirc
- Comment on Which browser do you recommend for a low-resource PC? 5 days ago:
seamonkey, but compat with many modern websites aren’t good
falkon might kinda work
people here probably hates this but if you’re on m$ windows, mypal68 and 360chrome(modded version) kinda works well on potato machines. i used to use 360chrome v86 on a atom z8350 with 2gb ram running win10 x32

- Comment on Why are some people deciding to switch to iOS as Android is putting on more (iOS-like) restrictions? 5 weeks ago:
tbh i’d also get an iphone if i need a ‘normal’ phone to use, the only other option i have is samsung phones and they suck for numerous reasons. apple tends to restrict apps’ permissions, so for shitty corporate apps the ios version tends to be less invasive too.
my last iphone was the 5s and i use degoogled lineageos now btw…
