PHP has ben JITed for a while now too.
I don’t recall it being known as slow compared to python even before that.

Yes

SSB is still around, but also not what I was looking for. I just wanted a frameless window (and no other pwa functionality).
Fullscreen I disabled using my window manager. Under Linux you can commonly use alt+F3 to bring up the “right click on titlebar” menu, then disable fullscreen there. Generally ever window manager can disable fullscreen for windows, in a more or less accessible way (cough ms windows dll calls cough).

As mentioned below, This is recovery. I could ban kiosk mode to a separate profile, but unless you invent a time machine this won’t undo having opened kiosk mode in an in-use profile.

Yes, this is more of a recovery operation. Whatever the fix may be, modifying the browser itself to open a window without decorations would be easier.

There are some usecases in which you really don’t want to restart your browser.
The easiest way to update your kernel is to restart your pc, yet there is a market for live-patch kernels.
If someone accidentally infects their instance with kiosk, it may occasionally be preferable for them to follow a complex procedure to recover the instance, rather than doing the “simple” thing of restarting it.

Restarting may solve many problems, but there is a more difficult but less invasive solution almost every time.
Much like reinstalling may solve even more problems, but you can see that doing a reinstallation is not usually the right course of action.

I had the same on revanced, thought they found a new way to fight adblock.
Turns out if you clear the cache occasionally it goes away. The youtube app is a piece of trash.

I would switch, but I only use it for music and I haven’t seen another frontend support mixes, which I rely on

I guess adb backup was before my time. I did use adb to transfer my apps when I last restored a twrp backup. In perhaps a similar manner to what that did, going by the name. But I did use adb root for that.

Otherwise, I use it to set a lot of otherwise inaccessible settings, like making the back gesture a lot thinner than intended because my touchscreen can handle it, or forcing 120Hz everywhere. I can also set my dpi there without anoying apps.

And ofc I use it to uninstall system apps I don’t need.

After initial setup I do all of that in a root bash session in termux admittedly, but if I hadn’t rooted my device I would still want to do most of that using an adb shell, as most of it doesn’t require root (besides maybe the restoring backups part).

I also use shell environment to semi-automatically transfer media files for certain processes, though I’ll probably move that over to syncrhing at some point.

The main remaining advantage is the ability to automate things on my phone from my pc, I don’t see a lot of those as replacable unless my rom installs kde connect as a system app and they add an immense amount of functionality

thx and wtf.
How can people even use android without adb shell?

I cannot open that, it shows a login page. Could you post a screenshot of what this is supposed to contain?

Shame they lost the display, that was the main benefit of the Xperia line for me.
Regular ~400 dpi screens look terrible and pixelated after being used to 650 dpi.

Guess I’ll have to hope another high dpi phone with headphone jack releases before mine dies.

Nice

This really seemed like a good simplification until you threw in that d’Alembert operator at the end

Default linux works too ofc, I didn’t know they took that route.
Most other browsers have very specific useragents, so the main pool of same useragents will be hardened browsers anyway.

Thank you for checking

Try it with high security settings in tor, it might be something like canvas. Did you enable any permissions for the website?

That would be a fail of the fingerprinting protection. A properly set up TOR browser for example should not allow that detection by any means. If you know how to detect it, please report it as a critical vulnerability.

I could think of maybe some edge case behavior in webrenderer or js cavas etc., which would mainly expose info on the specific browser and underlying hardware, but that is all of course blocked of or fixed in hardened browsers.

Further, if you have a reliable method, you could sell it off to for example Netflix, who are trying to block higher resolutions for Linux browsers but are currently foiled by changing the useragent (if you have widevine set up).

That can’t have been the reason, rather the fact it could tell.
Your browser sends information about its version and the os in the useragent string. It is supposed to lie and say it is a very commonly used useragent, specifically for purposes of fingerprinting. That would be windows, default configuration, firefox version something not you firefox version

All oleds do it at lower brightnesses. They can’t dim very far, so they need to flicker to get a usable color-depth

you can physically wire A into C, it’s the same protocol. This won’t be broken like other adapters because neither device even knows about it

ssds are a really cheap upgrade, and have been for a while. My systems of similsr age have had ssd upgrades for about 5 years now. It’ll likely be limited to sata speeds though.
