It's 👍 but barebones. No dark mode and support for native and user-created bookmarks.

Agree. I think you'll be :) with the Pixel 7 or 8.

You want your Pixel 6 pro to be bigger or smaller?

The S23+ is my dream. Big screen and flagship Snapdragon. The S23 ultra is overkill for me. Of course, if 1 needs the features that only the Ultra has, he should buy the Ultra.

I'm excited re the upcoming big phones but I won't be :o if the S24 ultra will be the best big phone of 2024. It seems Samsung knows how to make 👍 big phones.

No ads on my Samsung a70 but there are preinstalled 3rd-party apps. I just disabled those that I haven't needed.

There are some Samsung apps that I haven't needed like Radio and Tips. There's a not-so-easy way to remove those. But those never annoyed me so I won't bother to remove those.

The Pixel 7 pro is 👍. No ads. Are there preinstalled 3rd-party apps like Facebook or Spotify?

It's 👍 that tester1121 isn't focused on Pixel and considers other phones. But if his Pixel 6 pro is still 👍, I suggest using it for minimum 2 more years. If he needs to replace it now, I suggest the Pixel 8. USD 641 on Amazon.

If you <3 10, downloading 11 isn't a must, I think. I was still on 7 when 10 was released.

I started using Windows 11 in December 2023 and tried to just use sleep. My 🔋 drained fast while my 💻 was on sleep. I expected it. AMD and Intel processors generally aren't as efficient as the Apple M soc.

While it was on sleep, there were times it suddenly needed to restart.

I once had a blue screen of death too.

So now, I shut it down most of the time. Windows 11 boot-ups and shutdowns are surprisingly fast. :)

What I noticed – I turned on my 💻, opened Firefox then Firefox was updating. It was fast. So it hasn't been annoying so far.

There are a few phones (I hope there'll be more) that last 2 days with medium use. I'm :) for folks with those phones.

There are 4 Samsung apps that I'll erase if it'll be just a tap. So it's not very 👎. I can use Android debug bridge to erase those but I won't bother. If there are 30 bloat apps, I'll erase those.

I've been using my Samsung a70 for about 2 years. The Samsung apps are generally fine.

On Windows, Firefox has been my main browser for a long time. On Android, it has been my main for about 2 years. 1 of things I like re Firefox is its strict tracking protection. I read that Chrome would block by default 3rd-party trackers for 1% of the Chrome users this month. What about Google trackers? Anyway, it's absurd to expect privacy features from a firm that has advertising as 1 of its profit generators.

I want Firefox to grow at its own pace. I hope more folks will talk re Firefox. I think 1 of the factors why Firefox isn't so famous is –

In the phone and tablet boom in the last 10 years, some tended to use the default browser. For example, Safari on iPhone and iPad. Samsung, the top phone brand, has its own browser.
