1.69.138 Chromium 127.0.x: NO TOR MODE. ACHINGLY LEAKS IP. PAYWALL VPN not what i want on Andro. let me set a BBb proxy thru expertOrbot. BBb IS A CRIPPLED ANDROID FORK. 100% inoperable w/ orbot/tor on android. no plugin AddOns. built-in DoH choices LIMITED - noQuad9 or AdGuard. too many internal BBb browser pages/"experiments" crippled. WAY TOO MANY ROOT CA-s! Sync v2, V8 JS Optmzer, TLS1.3+kyber available. good anti-tracking & random browser fingerprint. buggy pbmode tab groups.

5.210.2 CARDINAL SINS: FAST-LEAKS IP, WebRTC IP+DNS-IP+HW leaks. PLEASE, MAKE DDGPB A PROXY AWARE BROWSER - THEN I COULD SPEC EXPERT MODE ORBOT AS MY PROXY & IP LEAKS MITIGATED! DDGPB supports no addons/extensions. "Super privacy" claim is [CR]APP bait&switch. no tab groups & can't change tab order. FINALLY, A "NEARLY UNIQUE" BROWSER FINGERPRINT. sec hardeded Fennec F-droid, proxying through orbot, is functionally privacy superior to DDGPB. WAKE UP, DDGPB DEVS.

1.168.134: PRIVATE TAB GROUPS ARE INCONSISTENT. chromium 127.0.6533.x - V8 Optimizer & kyber avail, but NO TOR MODE, Sync v2. PAYWALL VPN not what I want on Andro. i need Bb to work w/ Orbot. Bb not nearly as good on A14 as on Win10 desktop. HIGHLY OVERRATED, CRIPPLED ANDROID FORK. far too many internal Bb pages disabled & no plugins allowed. no built-in support for quad9 or adguard DoH. DELIBERATELY LEAKS IP ADDRESS LIKE A SIEVE...

FTC FINED TMO FOR COLLECTING/SELLING LOCATION DATA! SPYWARE UPDATES AD NAUSEUM!!! have yet to find any offers that are of value to me. In the meanwhile, this particular [cr]app is extraordinarily unfriendly to privateDNS &/or VPN connections because of all the ad&spy-ware that it runs, in exchange for offers that I don't find very compelling. I keep updating, but I've yet to see any actual change that matters... Apptentive & Radar embedded spyware??? no UI zoom, no landscape mode, no dark mode.

AMC Theatres is no longer US owned (PRC). so, who in the heck is VMBC and why should i trust them with my AMC login credentials? PURE (CR)APP! C-19 ENDEMIC IS FAR FROM OVER - 2024 USA SARSCoV2 HIGH IN SEWAGE WATER. theaters fail to provide high-flow HEPA air & "sanitization" remains deficient. not returning to in-theater until there's a cure for C-19 b/c of immunocompromise. no movie is worth it, esp when i have 4k Dolby Vision/Atmos at home. no surcharges in my ent room & my food is way better!

no programmers' keys - ctrl alt meta function. autocorrect subject to M$ spyware data collection/retention & uncompensated AI "training" - aka theft of prior art & intellectual property. what human (conformist) dummy needs an AI keyboard to "write more like themself?" M$ Copilot+ AI = defacto keystroke logging SPYWARE. only "benefits" actual illiteratez. AI to eliminate prions in food? YES!!! AI IN MY KYBRD, NO!!!

129.0b9: UNSTABLE DEBUG MODE. overwrites my about:config cookiebanner.service.mode=1 on every restart! tab drag/move too erratic in landscape - still too fast & sloppy. auto-refresh session on rtn2tab a NUISANCE! WEAK PARTIAL BROWSER FINGERPRINTING & 0-default bounce tracker protections. not nearly as good as Mull or fennec or Brave. post-quantum kyber avail. why REMOTE SETTINGS SERVER ENABLED???

NO "NIMBUS" googlecide NAKBA APARTHEID! SPEED CACHING ALGORITHM COMPLETELY FRAKKED! playing content @ faster than "normal" speed & an ad jumps up, content resumes, either w/ NO AUDIO &/or INFINITE REPEAT LOOP OF LAST 10-20 SECS PRIOR to intruding ad. FIX HIGH SPEED PLAYBACK CACHE &/OR LET ME PLAY IDIOTIC AD INTERRUPTS AT SAME HIGH SPEED. no YT coherence across OSes. dim wit devs more focused on google's OTB webDRM "project" than YT stability & QC. TOO MANY RT-WING ADS!!!

The Tor Project

  

13.5.1 REMOVED NEW IDENTITY BUTTON FROM NOTIFICATIONS! WOBBLELY WEBTUNNEL. 0 EXIT NODES OR STRICT NODES CONTROL. NO ABOUT:CONFIG. NO CUSTOM ADDONS. UNIQUE BROWSER FINGERPRINT! NO LOCAL BACKUP/EXPORT OF BOOKMARKS/SETTINGS. UNABLE TO DISABLE LOCATION. UNSCROLLABLE TOR LOG. let me spec ALL torports. fractured apk release across repo-s. fennec+orbot way better than this crippled shambles. nothing usefully close to desktop tB.

"1.Fix some konwn issues." yeah, NOT! NO PROGRESS WHATSOEVER. HORRIFIC BATTERY DRAIN, WHILE ALLEGEDLY RUNNING IN "BACKGROUND." Needs to be completely rewritten to be far more battery frugal. Unconscionably eats battery even with ZERO camera activity. Worst cam control/monitoring app ever. Borderline MALWARE, but just a [cr]app. There's a "beta" program? Yeah, right.

NO "NIMBUS" googlecide NAKBA APARTHEID! this "phone" [cr]app 2nd classes non-pixel smartphones. a case for restraint of trade/anti-trust. google is more focused on "nimbus services" for 21st century fascist-nationalists. no wonder that innocent civillians/non-combatants get AI marked for death - wholesale. tons of problems on Galaxy phones running A14 OUI6.x.

the bait&switch inline "update" from Reader to Editor is UNETHICAL & UNWELCOMED. Reader was a nice app, when it worked. Editor is even more UNRELIABLE. why does Editor require that I tap [START] post-"update???" exhausts memory on larger PDFs that other readers load more resource frugally. generates 'false' reports of "corrupted" PDFs, that other readers open w/o complaint. as such, must keep other PDF readers installed for when FoxIt fails. DARK MODE TEXT UNREADABLYTOO FAINT!

NOW ONLY LIVE CAM VIEW; NO LOCAL IN-[CR]APP SDCARD VIEWS! SINCE V2.30 ~OCT2023, TECHWIN BACKEND NET LAGS & DROPS CAM STREAMS, EVEN W/ STRONG MU-MIMO WIFI5 & GB INTERNET. DIRECT/LOCAL IP CONNECT ONLY GOOD FOR LIVE VIEW. [CR]APP ABANDONED-WARE! PHONE TS COMPLETEY PULLED DOWN. CLASS ACTION TIME...

DOES THIS USE OPENSSH? IF SO, IS CVE-2024-6387 FULLY PATCHED IN 2.20??? WHY NO CHANGELOG???

07/06/2024

  

no effing CHANGELOG anywhere. still very cranky on Android 14/OneUI 6.1... unable to "Add" any Android folders/apps other than termux, XUGate & userland. /Android/obb access severely truncated. SHELL SCRIPTS, run from FVFM, never elevate w/ shizuku, jailboxed in non-adb userland. no way to leverage FVFM to execute anything else under shizuku. as more FMs become shizuku-capable, paywalled FS sandboxing here becomes a liability. X-plore+shizuku catching-up w/ FV. FVFM A14 page not a changelog.

NO OFFLINE MODE FALLING BEHIND COMPETITION. NOW EXCESSIVE ACCESSABILITY "permission" DEMANDED & NOT OPTIONAL! i don't use grammerly to editorialze what/how i write. i use it to bypass the Damsung Keyboard's overreaching monopoly on keyboard spellcheck - i never use the admin/programming crippled Damsung keyboard for anything. grammerly floating widget is a kludge, but it's better than 0-spellcheck under the Damsung monopoly.

THERE IS NO v0.12# ON OFFICIAL GitHub/F-Fdroid B/C THIS IS A VOLATILE FORK, ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS DRACONIAN POST-ANDRO10 google[CIDE] "SECURITY" THEATRICS. OFFICIAL IS STILL v0.118 ON GITHUB & F-DROID. those who installed termux ftom gPS should prepare for rollercoaster updates. those who installed from "stable" GitHub/F-droid should stand pat on 0.118 until google[CIDE] enshittification is fully mitigated. gPS What's New & About App need more clarity. VirusTotal is not liking github v0.118.1.

NO "NIMBUS" googlecide NAKBA APARTHEID! rapid serial updates WITH NO CHANGE LOGS! wrong\y maligned Damsung Bixby is getting better & better than this [cr]app - but not by enough... yet.

IS THIS VERSION LOCKED TO googlecide PAY??? YOU IDIOTS NEVER MAINTAIN APP VERSION COHERENCE BTWN gPS & DAMSUNG GalaxyS. WHAT alledgedly gets fixed??? WHERE is the acurate & complete CHANGELOG??? pre-PANDEMIC, theater/seating data randomly incorrect, SO I WOULD NEVER TRUST THIS (CR)APP NOW WITH LIFE&DEATH ENDEMIC CHOICES. expiring off points tantamount to THEFT - especially during SCV2/C19 ENDEMIC. GREED!

NO "NIMBUS" googlecide NAKBA APARTHEID! the diffuse & nefarious ways g invades & aggregates private date/violates privacy. how does this [cr]app firewall my smartphone from all of the egregious privacy invasions/violations embedded in ALL modern vehicles??? how do i control/prevent sensitive data leakage out of this [cr]app to vehicle's built-in [cr]app??? until i have verifiable & satisfactory answers, not connecting any non-burner device to any vehicle...

NO "NIMBUS" NAKBA googlecide APARTHEID! undisclosed "bug fixes" my eye. only things "stable" about this [cr]app is its buggy disfunctionality & consistent unreliability. why isn't there an in-app Debug mode that allows me to capture/telemeterize errord, package it in a blob & transmit, via secure RCS, back to Devs to tease out??? cavalier "advice" to RESET APP DATA MEANS TOSS MSGS AWAY. Damsung Messages isn't nearly as bad as this. now, where did i stow those semaphore flags?...de

shizuku/ADB integration much appreciated. app lacks ability/options to *FORCE MAP* hardwired USB Headset Buttons in-call Actions to: a) EndCall and b) toggle Mute/Unmute Headset Mike . I don't see these options on any of the phones/Android versions I own/use... otherwise, despite the all too frequent incremental updates (better/saner release sched for non-showstopper BugFixes), a better than half-way decent app...

Developer Replies Reply Time 08/17/2019

You can do a) with the custom keycodes action and b) is not possible on most devices. You may be able to do it with a root command.
As for updates, I am fixing showstopper bugs, they just don't affect you.

NO "NIMBUS" googlecide NAKBA APARTHEID! is de facto changelog non-disclosure arrogance or hubris? "do no evil," pshaw... never forget, gMaps has gotten people killed. deliberately hostile to VPN/proxy b/c GPS tracking isn't enough to sate google's spying/tracking ways. no lemmings, here. gMaps is my very last resort - a necessary evil. i highly prefer privacy respecting FOSS map/nav alternatives.

MaiaSoft - Positive Easy Recipes

  

not nearly as useful as i had hoped. no way to select recipies for gluten-free, low carb &/or keto. no way to inventory ingredients already on hand & then limit recipies to that. not clear, at all, on how to edit/modify offered recipie & then save the customized version, with attributions. nothing for chicken hearts & gizzards, tripe, tongue/lengua, cheek/cabeza & many major ethnic cuisines. no landscape UI. INCOMPATIBLE WITH VPN.

this [cr]app is nanny-state spyware/tracking garbage. i firewall it from all i-net access b/c it can't be completely removed.

when will new "network" network appear? this perpetually updated app, on Android, is horrifically out-of-sync w/ its sibling incarnations on other platforms, like Damsung & Vizio smartTVs. non-Android development languishes, making for an annoying & sometimes crippling Pluto TV experience across platforms. every varient has inexplicably differing content line-ups. when will all of the releases be synchronized for cross-platform & content consistency?

Developer Replies Reply Time 05/31/2024

Hi! Most of Pluto TV's content comes from our partners, and some of those partnerships limit where their content can appear. Some are available in Samsung TV & Android phone but not in Vizio Smart TV and vice versa. We are working on expanding our content to more devices, but this will take time, stay tuned!
