• Firefox was very popular in 2012

  On my Pixel 7 Pro I had to stop using it. It lags so bad when scrolling heavy pages. Guess it's just not optimized for it yet, but when scrolling e.g apple.com / theverge.com it's 5fps for me. Tried enabling/disabling uBlock etc, nothing helps. Source: 7 months ago

• Firefox on Pixel 7 Pro is really sluggish

  I'm a big fan of firefox, but after getting my Pixel 7 Pro it's really bad. When going to image-heavy pages like theverge.com or apple.com the scrolling is like 5 fps. Guess it's something with Firefox not being optimized for Android 13 or the new Pixels? Anyone else experiencing this? Source: 7 months ago

• weird ugly thin font

  I think this may be because of the website's font choice. theverge.com also used to use a font that was unreadable on lower resolution screens, but their current font is decent. Source: 12 months ago

• Android acting weird in combination with pihole

  After moving houses I have not used my pihole for a year because I was too lazy :)Since the router/modem provided by my ISP does not allow me to set a static IP I am configuring all my devices to use the pihole DNS.Apple devices and my smart tv work perfectly but my android phone blocking certain websites like theverge.com.The error in the browser is ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE.The exact same website work fine on all...

• Apple Reportedly Plans Fix for $1,600 Studio Display's Disappointing Webcam

  EDIT: Apparently I didn't take into account the fact that Windows and macOS' text rendering systems are different, so I guess that may explain why a 1080p display is enough for my Windows PC (unless I am visiting theverge.com, since they are using a font that seems to be "designed to look bad on 1080p displays").

• Erm why tf is Horizon £69.99 for the standard edition???

  From theverge.com September2021 (and so far no changes regarding anything in this article including last paragraph, just look at UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection, 10 bucks for whoever already owns Uncharted4) "Sony is now planning to offer a free Horizon Forbidden West upgrade from PS4 to PS5. The U-turn follows widespread criticism after the company announced there would be no upgrade path for Horizon... Source: over 1 year ago

• Linus Tech Tips think ad-blocking is piracy despite the fact that federal courts have proven this false many times

  The issue we do have is when publisher greed takes over and starts driving everything they do. For example, look at theverge.com with and without adblocking. How many different types of ads are pushed to the user in a single session? Publisher logic always ends up with them asking "If I make X amount of money with one ad, why not run 10 ads?".

• It’s 2022, and the Surface Duo still doesn’t have Android 11

  Wow, theverge.com starts the year by running a Microsoft hatchet job. What a shock. Yes, that is sarcasm for the naive around here. So where is year starting coverage on the fact that Google has still not addressed the fact its flagship phones have issues with their own software (Android Auto for many)? How about Google turning its photo app into a subscription service while adding no features? How about the... Source: over 1 year ago
