Yeah, Shizuku opens up a massive attack surface through ADB. ADB can do a lot to your device without you even realizing it in a lot of cases, and you’re basically giving ADB access to Shizuku itself and any apps that use it (which could be exploited) at all times, so its very risky. Its pretty dangerous and definitely best to avoid an app like this.

Not Chromium, Extremely customizable and configurable, and add-on support on mobile, to name a few reasons.

I’ve considered setting up a passthrough VM like this (and almost did), I’m just reluctant to I guess because of how much work it takes to configure and get going, and how little I actually use Windows anyways, so I just stick to dualbooting when I really need it. I definitely wish the process of setting up the passthrough VM was easier, but like you pointed out, it’d probably be a good learning experience.

Is this the part where I act surprised?

Are they begging for another antitrust?

I think this goes for open source in general. I guess its just because of Apple and how locked down and restricted they make things. AOSP is open source and as a whole is pretty open with allowing things like sideloading and more freedom and control to developers and users in general, so I guess that encourages more FOSS developers to support it and the platform, over something like iOS for instance with its locked down ecosystem.

True, that’s why its probably good for a distinction to be made, I agree.

The WebView on Android at least is Chromium based though, but I agree its probably best to make that distinction.

I love Jellyfin and mainly use it and recommend it where possible these days, but man, the download situation sucks. Hate having to download files without compressing them, especially since I keep my media lossless. Its the main reason I’ve still kept Plex running on my server. Also sometimes the clients can be wonky, I’ve found Jellyfin works best for me with Kodi as the player for most things, which is interesting. But overall I do like Jellyfin and support it and its mission, hopefully gets better in these aspects in time.

Their extension isn’t open source anymore, see here, so I don’t recommend it personally, especially with how sensitive the data it collects is, its basically a keylogger, so trust is super important imo.

Fedora easily. It has everything I want out of a Linux distro and more, its what I recommend to people for both beginners and more advanced users, because it just has so much to like about it. I’ve considered and have been tempted to go down the Arch route, but I just don’t think its worth it for me when Fedora is so damn good, and I can easily tweak or configure anything I dislike about it, that’s the beauty of Linux.

I just don’t think Tor Browser is currently suited as a primary browser for most people. You lose things like staying logged into websites, you can’t (or at least shouldn’t) really add extensions like a good content blocker, you generally can’t tweak or customize the browser to your liking, etc. Plus factor in things like the slow speeds, being blocked by websites, bombarded with captchas everywhere, etc, and it just becomes a harder and harder sell for a lot of average people.

Tor Browser’s great and it absolutely has its need and purpose, I’m not trying to knock it for that at all because it works damn well for what it is and what it tries to do, but I just think its hard to be using as a primary browser and daily driver in its current form, at least for a lot of people.
