In the meanwhile you can try this temporary fix: Go to Developer Options->Apps>Background Process Limit and change the limit from Standard to "at most 4processes" [1]

To think greed is some innate human trait seems to not be greatly substantiated by evidence on early human behavior. To see what we call greed all around us in market economy is only proof how we're all drilled from early childhood onwards to exhibit this behavior of greed, in accumulating money to survive, to archieve social status and approval etc. Drastic changes the economic system, and the very behavior set we are all programmed into, would more than likely regulate the behavior of greed. Though obviously that is extremely unlikely to happen.

Just.. use different search engine? Startpage if you still want the Google's search results but with vastly superior privacy

That was partially true a couple years ago that there were some crashes related to it. It is absolutely not the case anymore.

Google controls Chromium to the extent they can impose changes like manifest v3 and while some forks like Brave will try to circumvent such changes, it will eventually become too costly or incompatible to maintain.

It is kind of the same daydream as the Windows 11 debloaters have that if they just keep doing that, everything will be okay. That is until Microsoft implements features they can no longer fully disable, like recall, or just exercise their control to revert any changes at will.

You can change the link handling in the app settings so it doesn't try to open it via the app. Or open the site in incognito window.

Redlib provides an even better experience than old.reddit.com, while also being truly private.

The best approach to combat this is to cause as much headache as possible: bombard them with 1-star reviews, contact news sites, post this on social media sites snd contact Paypal's support.

It can be worked around with the per-app secure spawning toggle. Ideally people should still complain and get them to fix it.

Good luck with 3.7M existing reviews.

With a user base of 500k if every GOS user left a review that'd make a dent.

True. But when the Volkswagen block was publicized a lot, last time I checked the number of stars didn't even decrease by 0.1 (even though there were a bunch of negative reviews). Admittedly, PayPal probably has more GrapheneOS users than VW, but with VW negative reviews could have made a serious dent.

And the Daily mail was founded in the 1800s. Age of the publication doesn't in any way correlate with the factuality of the reporting.

Pirated copies seem like a blackbox of potential malware, even if virus scans fail to find any problems (and they often give 10-30% false positives on most keygens/cracks). Even if the code is hosted in github, there has been plenty of cases of malware/viruses being hosted there too.

Yuuup.

Got it from an invite only torrent side, but yes, there is still a risk. But I don't want to pay 390 EUR (and not get any updates)
