    Google keeps increasing the number of steps to update your apps

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 11:03 AM PDT

    If you're someone like me, I like to manually update my apps, so I can do it when my phone is on a charger, and so I can review the updates first. Unfortunately with the recent change to the Play Store, they continue to add additional steps to make this happen.

    Before, you could swipe from the left drawer and press Apps to update all.

    Now, you have to press your profile icon in top-right corner, press Manage Apps, click on Update All or See Details, to see what apps have updates available, then press Update All..

    Not sure the benefit of adding this extra step is and making in harder to find in the top corner vs a quick swipe from the left.

    This is a bit late, but for those of you who loved Dark Sky like I did MyRadar is a great substitute

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 04:36 PM PDT

    It has awesome, smooth radar maps with really cool layers you can add on. I like adding the lightning layer so you can see where strikes have been. Multiple times I've heard really loud thunder and then looked at MyRadar, lo and behold there was a strike 2 blocks away!

    Crucially it has really great micro-forecasts like DarkSky, i.e. how likely it is to rain at any point over the next hour. It actually is more powerful than DarkSky in a lot of ways, mostly because of the amount of information you can get.

    Basically, I loved DarkSky and this is the only app that has been a worthy replacement on my phone.

    I know this is like a year too late, but I love the app and wanted to share.

    Why Google's plan to reduce Android ad tracking is both smart and sneaky

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 02:25 AM PDT

    Here's how to disable the tab groups in chrome.

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 06:06 AM PDT

    1) Disable the following flags:

    Tab grid layout.
    Tab groups continuation.
    Tab switcher on return.
    Then these ones have to be done in the following order.
    Temporarily unexpire m89 flags.
    Temporarily unexpire m90 flags.

    2) Relaunch chrome and then remove it from the recents and force close it.

    3) Disable these flags (they are hidden until you disable m89 amd m90 flags)

    Tab groups.
    Tab groups ui improvements

    4) Relaunch chrome and force close it. If it doesn't work maybe try restarting your phone.

    Is googles approach to opt out of ad personalisation similar to apple's implementation in functionality

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 07:28 AM PDT

    So google has an opt out of personalization toggle per account which instruct apps to avoid advertisment id.

    Apple also has similar feature. How are they different? For example when it comes to facebook, it posted massive statements against apple for making people from giving facebook, the ad id.

    But facebook didn't do much against google. What is really going on? Can apps use ad id even after i opt out of it or apple does a better job at hiding ad id?

    Anybody explain please.

    Browser App Suggestions

    Posted: 16 Jun 2021 08:36 AM PDT

    Google Chrome is the default browser in Android Smartphones but when it comes to privacy Google Chrome is useless and if you care about your privacy then it's about time to switch to any other browser that priorities your privacy over anything else. And here are the 5 browsers which I recently tested ( I make YouTube vidoes, so yeah 😅) and found them to be good enough.

    1. Bromite Browser:- basically replica of Google Chrome but has a cleaner UI and many privacy protection features.

    2. Fennec :- Mentioned about this in my previous posts as well. Great Open Source Browser which also supports add-ons as well as external Downloader.

    3. Microsoft Edge:- I can't believe myself that I'm suggesting this one! But it is actually good and particularly ad blocking works very well on this one. And as Edge is default browser in windows so synching between devices was seamless.

    4. Brave Browser :- this has been in the market from very long and I really liked it. This is the only browser in this list that let you choose different search engine for incognito tabs and different search engine for regular tabs. I used DuckDuckGo for incognito browsing and StartPage search engine for regular browsing. This one also supports fingerprint blocking. All in all it's a decent opting when it comes to privacy browsers. And yeah it has full fledged desktop version too.

    5. Privacy Browser :- it's an open source browser app and if you are obsessed with privacy then do check out this one. UI of this browser is not user friendly but when it comes to privacy, this browser delivers on that aspect.
