Maybe I'm looking into this too far, but I think if someone's happy to have things the way they like them (ads, Chrome, etc.) and clearly doesn't want to elaborate on it, they have every right to not elaborate further.
Let them find it their own way. Or maybe they won't, but it's their choice to make.
I take it that it'll also come as a security update for older versions of iOS like 15?
I'll second the other comment suggesting KeePass, but the biggest issue I had with it was syncing the database across devices. Ultimately I stored it in OneDrive, but it occurred to me that at that point it wasn't much different to a cloud password manager, which I especially didn't trust.
I now self host a Vaultwarden instance from my Raspberry Pi, and that works perfectly for me, but it does require a bit of Linux experience and a spare device to run the server.
Dad, what are you doing on the internet again?
Hopefully not a stupid question: would this affect butane stoves, like the ones you use to go camping?
Well I think you'll never be pleased with a platform like this, and you're probably not the target audience.
Yeah that's totally fair enough and I can totally see that.
For me personally, even when it's to my detriment, I intentionally go out of my way to use Firefox because other than Safari, it's the last major independent browser engine and I want to be at least one user of it, if it helps keep it relevant. That being said, I feel that Firefox might become more relevant and arguably already has because of crap like this.
I think there's no tenable solution unfortunately, but for me personally, as a viewer, I'd be happy to watch a single start video ad if I knew a half decent proportion went to the creator.
But with the way YouTube is to the creators, how unfair and unbalanced they are with copyright, the clear vision that they're not doing things for the people but for corporate (removal of dislike count), I have no guilt continuing to block ads and essentially give the finger to the platform.
Once all the major creators I watch move to a better platform, I'd be rid of YouTube entirely in my life and I hope that's what happens on a major scale.
I used to be a KeePass user, but moved away because I was ultimately syncing the database using OneDrive, which I felt at that point it was a cloud password manager, which I didn't like for being open to the internet and entrusting the security of the company hosting it.
And yes, I moved to self hosted Vaultwarden with Tailscale and haven't looked back.
There is ThumbKey on F-Droid that, if you get good at the layout, I imagine would be ideal for that phone.
I was gobsmacked last week to see my colleague open a brand new Amazon Dot thing ($20AUD smart speaker) and see it with a barrel jack. Really?
