    What do you miss and do not miss from the early days of Android?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2020 11:37 PM PST

    For me, I trawled the XDA forums for my then-devices - a Galaxy Gio. It came with Android 2.3.6 out of the box.

    What I miss:

    • the sheer amount of customization. Browsing the forums for any half-popular device would yield dozens and dozens of ROMs and themes created by the commuity. My Gio ran a modified version of Android 4.4, Kitkat, before it died. Sure, battery life was awful by then and it was slow as hell, but it sure had some cool tricks.
    • The size of phones - back then they were 4.2" max.
    • The ridiculous variation in phone and software designs. If one were to go to GSMArena, they'd see such things as the Motorola Backflip, the HTC Hero, and the Samsung Behold 2. HTC Sense and Touchwiz really were different.

    ​

    What I don't miss:

    • The bottom-tier "low-end" phones, with bloated software running on top. My Gio had around 278MB of RAM and 512MB storage, of which only 151MB was usable. SD Cards were a BIG deal back then, with applications like Link2SD that would as move as much data as possible to a phone's SD Card.
    • The lack of functionality and under-the-hood performance improvements now taken for granted.

    uBlock Origin support has landed on Firefox Preview Nightly

    Posted: 04 Feb 2020 05:46 PM PST

    As many of you know, Firefox Preview initially launched without add-on support. This feature has been in the works for a while and enough progress has now been made for uBlock Origin to be the first add-on to be supported. (Why uBlock Origin? High demand.) Support for more add-ons is incoming.

    To add uBlock Origin, navigate to Settings -> Advanced section -> Add-ons, and tap on the + sign next to uBlock Origin's entry. You can configure filters just like on the desktop version.

    Work is still in progress and some actions will make Firefox Preview Nightly crash (e.g. tapping on a filter's hyperlink). You can have the app automatically generate and send a report to Mozilla if you so wish.

    You can get the newest Firefox Preview Nightly on the Play Store and out of it.
