It’s looking increasingly likely that the US Department of Justice is going to succeed in their antitrust efforts against Google. Currently, Mozilla gets something like 85% of their funding from Google for being the default search engine in Firefox. That may be deemed anticompetitive behavior by a judge, at which point Mozilla will be left with very little funding compared to their current situation.
I’d bet these actions are in anticipation of that happening.
That’s just standard in Russia
Oooh! Better than usual!
Sounds more like a cure to me
It’s almost as though Apple’s main focus is selling devices instead of harvesting user data for ads. iOS has so many anti-tracking and privacy features built into it that I feel exhausted thinking about all the mods I need to make to factory software on an Android phone to bring it up to the same level.
Certainly iOS has its flaws, and I miss easier ad blocking, but overall I’m more satisfied with the experience.
OP, I mostly agree with what you’re saying about Android. I’ve been a user since 2010, and development of mainline Android stagnated about a decade ago. Google isn’t really trying very hard anymore. I got an iPhone this round as my main device. I still have plenty of other Android devices as well as my last phone (OnePlus 8T) that I will continue to use, but I’m enjoying most of the change in user experience to iOS. It’s smoother and better thought out in most respects.
If your device is really that slow though, are you sure the battery is good? They will definitely slow down when the battery ages to prevent sudden shutdowns if the CPU were to try to use more power than the battery can supply. I think that a bad battery can do the same even if it’s not old.
If not that, how is the custom ROM scene for your phone? That may be a solution if it’s possible. Manufactures like Samsung sometimes go overboard with additions to the OS that just screw things up. Samsung was probably the worst offender in this regard back when the first Galaxy devices launched.

Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after me.
Yeah, do it!
I had a similar touch when I was younger. I’ve worked for Circuit City, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Blockbuster Video. Sadly, Best Buy somehow survived.
I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.

This was an underlying plot point in Metal Gear Solid 2.
Firefox Mobile supports most desktop extensions now, so Ublock Origin works too
Because every day their investments in open source projects are making our ecosystem better?
I quit, told him to go fuck himself, that we see who he really is and to delete my account after he started banning journalists who dared to criticize the “free speech absolutionist” dickhead.
It’s twice as large as is necessary to contain this volume of product.
I would have signed it too, but only because I’m awesome on fiddle and I could totally win my soul back.
