[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago You are not wrong but a small onetime purchase of a used device every 5-7 years is drop in the ocean compared to renting a new phone off the rack every two years and being locked into the ecosystem of your provider. The only thing I feel bad about is buying the phone from Amazon. I just couldn't find one anywhere else and my old phone was barely usable. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] lena@gregtech.eu 2 points 9 months ago (5 children) So which browser should those who are unfortunate enough to use iOS use? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] DeanTheCat@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (3 children) Orion (by the same guys who made Kagi) has Ad-Blockers built in.

I also use macOS, and Linux, and I like open source. Unless you use grapheneos the android and iOS debate or moral superiority for either side is pointless. Plus Google is going the way of Apple slowly anyway in regards to open source permalink fedilink source parent [–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago I mean i just use safari. It has a bunch of extensions, it blocks ads and tracking. You can add adguard to it if you want. You can get dark mode. Sometimes I use Firefox too but Safari really handles a lot. If you’re really up for trying privacy respecting browsers, Orion is great. Built by the Kagi developers so you know they care about your privacy. I stopped using it because it didn’t have dark mode last year but that might have gotten added by now. permalink fedilink source parent
