"Mozilla now makes most of its almost $600 million in annual revenue from promoting Chrome as the default search engine on its home page."

Proofreading FTW.

Is there an unofficial Graphene OS ROM for S23? Because if there isn't and you want to try it, the Pixel remains your only choice. Have you had a look at Zenfone (8/9/10)? When my S9 comes to its EOL, one of those will most likely be my choice. (I won't lie, I prefer to have the 3.5mm jack on my phone!)

What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the 'correct' order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that's what I'd go for. If yes, and it's Ubuntu that's messing up your dual boot, I'd see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I'd go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

OK specs overall but too big for me and no headphone jack, I wouldn't get one.

What’s your long-term experience?

Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

Don't know if more likely but yeah, it's a possibility, too.

Reminds me to donate, been a while since I last did that. Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if she'd just pulled that 225M out of her ass to not look completely clueless, as it's right in the middle of the ballpark 200-250M she mumbled about earlier.

I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.

Mind sharing? I'm curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:

  • defaulting to Moderate safe search every couple of days
  • inability to provide me with good results for simple '[word] wiktionary' queries
  • having to block some elements of their result templates manually, using their own browser's filtering feature (featured snippets, definitions etc)
  • poorer search results compared to what they were a year, two ago

Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.

This. You'd be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.

Waterproofing requirement means that glue is mandatory even with the presence of a gasket

Huh?
