Using parental control is too hard so leave it to the government huh

what a fucking joke

thanks but i swear i must be missing something here:

1. Settings / Apps / Defaults Apps / Opening Links

2. Vanadium => Open in browser. It now says Dont allow to open links

3. Firefox => Open in App. It now says Allow to open links

I assume Vanadium is still aet as Default browser in Settings/Appa/Default App / Browser app. Then, I only do the steps you show above.

Test: tap on anylink => vanadium opens.

i thought its overkill too, but i tried it out and it works surprisingly well. I use the Automation script like this, alao using Via because for some reasons Firefox/Brave keep playing audio even when you minimize. Everything from Unshort to Toast are the defaults, I only added the last 2:

{ "Unshort bit.ly": { "regex": "https?:\\\/\\\/bit\\.ly\\\/.*", "action": "unshort", "enabled": false }, "Send everything to webhook": { "regex": ".*", "action": "webhook", "enabled": false }, "Toast example": { "regex": "TrianguloY", "action": "toast", "args": { "text": "👋🙂" } }, "YouTube to Secondary Browser": { "regex": ".*(youtube\\.com|youtu\\.be).*", "action": "open", "args": { "package": "mark.via.gp" }, "enabled": true, "stop": true }, "Everything else to Vanadium": { "regex": ".*", "action": "open", "args": { "package": "app.vanadium.browser" }, "enabled": true, "stop": true } }

It works. If I tap a Youtube link, Via / Brave / Firefox opens. Otherwise, it is Vanadium.

that unfortunately only works if you have another app (not browser) that can play Youtube video like Revanced or NewPipe. If you have 2 browsers and no Youtube apps installed, there will be no options to select the youtube.com links.

if only more people move away from Google shit. The problem is always about the sheer number of apps Google has. I can switch no problem, but convincing my relatives or even a company to switch? Thats tough.

Please dont turn off your computer.

Instead of completely moving to 1 service, I would try to compartmentalize the digital life better. For me I tried:

• all banks and very sensitive stuff => Proton Mail

• every other emails => Gmail.

• Password Manager: yes Proton Pass is nice but i like things to work offline and access whenever i can => KeePass. I secure my database with a password and a keyfile. I transfer and uodate my database with Syncthing.

• 2 FA stuff: i had Authy but it is a piece of shit app now. So I am moving to Keepass. Yes, you can add TOTP to anything in Keepass. The only thing i still need Authy for is Steam.

Ctrl + L is very nice… holy shit

yeh i’ll guess i’ll try some of them out. Anything above $50 is too much for me though. Also i am aware of the privacy stuff on the new S25.

It is not what i meant in the OP, the S24 Ultra was the 1st one to have that anti reflective coating on. It was difficult to get a screen for that one because Samsung did such a great job, i.e. any screen protectors will just reduce the factory coating.

The ads themselves got worse too, not just about skipping them.
I see toooooooooo many ads about Taichi for men over 60. Fml, now it becomes Military calisthenic for men over 40…

Also those ads with the zombie games…

wait this tweet from him is real??
