Yes, by default every Chromium browser is affected. It is just a matter of
- whether they want to extend it to the enterprise time (which Edge and Opera won't do IIRC)
- whether they'd try to keep it working after enterprise time (maybe Brave and Vivaldi, but it could take a lot of effort)
- whether they even have an alternative place to download extensions from if CWS takes MV2 extensions down (Brave has some workaround for few extensions, not sure about others)
Maybe there will be some devs working on Ungoogled Chromium to keep the support, but they also have to think where users would even get the extensions from.

We will now [Oct 9] begin disabling installed extensions still using Manifest V2 in Chrome stable. This change will be slowly rolled out over the following weeks. Users will be directed to the Chrome Web Store, where they will be recommended Manifest V3 alternatives for their disabled extension. For a short time, users will still be able to turn their Manifest V2 extensions back on. Enterprises using the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy will be exempt from any browser changes until June 2025.
So there is no single date for normal users, but June 2025 is fixed for enterprise (and expected date for Brave, Vivaldi)

Probably Google Play Services, motion sensors, heuristics

Surely you can use it, the tab switching just requires more taps compared to competitors.
Edit: that said, I just found this extension which I expected someone to make by now.

Firefox used to allow a lot more extensions though, until they switched to Fenix UI and restricted them to a selected few. And then they expanded the support again.

Firefox's new UI still lacks a tablet-optimized interface, for example.

uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
uBOL does not require broad "read/modify data" permission at install time, hence its limited capabilities out of the box compared to uBlock Origin or other content blockers requiring broad "read/modify data" permissions at install time.
Emphasis mine. No background processes, including a website-reading permission does indeed sound more optimized for mobile, where people may have limited resources.

I'd be super down for one that folds flat, and does away with the huge camera bump. Get me a nice stylus, a foldable keyboard and a simple folding support to hold the phone at an angle, and that's essentially a desktop that can fit into your pockets.
So essentially your concerns are the camera bump and stylus? As the other features you mentioned are already there.

Serious question though, has any other company matched their 4o model yet? Maybe Claude?

Except when you ask it how it works

Because it keeps getting updates?

My question was why do you think degoogling will help you with notification sync.

Why do you think degoogling will help with that?

they also give a keyboard for that extra screen size

Well, there is a separate system for pirating prevention, the Google Play license check. That has existed for years.

According to the article, that's due to more features and more updates.

I think the only thing that should be right is the price.
Everything else - form factor, thickness, aspect ratio, whatever - can and should be experimented with, and nothing will break because the apps adapt anyway.
Well, unless they are unoptimized for tablets in general, which most are...

Honestly, I'm shocked there aren't way more. We have the Google Store, Samsung Store, Amazon store and...that's it?
There are plenty of repositories for F-Droid, and from what I've heard, also for Aptoide.
That said, it is not really beneficial for most companies to compete with Google Play since they know the user base will be smaller, user experience will be worse (install warnings, no auto-update), and people may get affected by malware if they don't pay attention to where they are downloading things from (may download a scam app directly instead of the legit app store).

That's why it took years to even build a first generation product.

Why window blinds when it could roll up more like a snail?
Please let us disable using back button to open the drawer and on next press, then a prompt to exit the app. I want Connect to behave like any other Android app does - exit the app immediately if there is no navigation stack left.
As ironic as it may be, Connect 1.0.65 (65) is unable to open this community, from the link in its settings. Also tried other ways to open it in the app, same result. I checked that lemm.ee isn't defederating with lemmy.ca so I'm not sure what may cause this. Android 13.
Mis oleks, kui u/sunaurus peaks natuke r/Eesti moderaatoritega nõu, et teha reklaami ja kolida vähemalt osa rahvaga siia? Oleme ju digiriik, inimesed kohanevad muudatustega 😄
