Some parts of the container API is not available on Android unfortunately. No container extension will work until that is fixed.

A bit of background...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umidigi_A9

The device is marketed at a price of US$500; in comparison, the Umidigi A9 Pro retails for US$120, a little less than a quarter the price of the Freedom Phone. The Freedom Phone website did not initially publish specifications for the phone, but incomplete information was later published. Finman confirmed to The Daily Beast that the Freedom Phone was manufactured by Umidigi.

In a review of the product, CNET said that the $500 Freedom Phone appeared to be "nearly on par with a $200 budget Android phone."

The phone comes with rebranded Aurora Store and calls it " 'uncensorable' Freedom Phone app store"

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/the-maga-targeted-freedom-phone-has-a-breathtaking-amount-of-red-flags/

As pointed out by XDA's Mishaal Rahman on Twitter, the phone's "PatriApp" Store appears to be no more than a rebranded Aurora Store, an open source client for the Play Store.

As far as getting "censored" apps onto the Freedom Phone, the plan seems to be to preload them. The phone ships with apps for right-wing outlets and services like Newsmax, OANN, Parler, and Rumble.

Reddit dropping FF Android support??? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

I think that happens only for some subreddits like r/piracy,imatotalpieceofshit etc. that they deemed 'problematic' or something so they force the app on all posts.

If you are using uBlock Origin I think this filter removes the element: www.reddit.com##xpromo-untagged-content-blocking-modal

Any good Windows open source RSS feeds that have a dark mode? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

I downloaded RSSGuard and it appears that I can’t import my rss feed into it and they are online based?

Both.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children)

IIRC, RSSGuard has a dark theme https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard (I used to use it on Arch Linux long ago before switching to ttrss in browser; apparently they also have Windows builds).

Edit. Ah, it also supports custom skins https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/resources/docs/Documentation.md#skin

Unable to add qwant as a search engine. Anyone else? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

You can add a custom search engine to FF desktop.

about:config -> create browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh (boolean), set to true. Then go to settings there should be an "Add" button:

Has this vulnerability been patched? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Good that you brought this up. Perhaps it was patched or worked around in Tor browser ?

Yea Tor browser worked around it, see https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40432#note_2735850

See here. This is the issue tracking the UI for proxy too. The flag comes from Chromium; you can't use a http+password proxy though since Chromium doesn't support that too.

NanoAdblocker / NanoDefender extension is Malware now (github.com)
 

I'm not completely updated on the events but as I understand the original add-on changed ownership and was sold to a unknown group of Turkish developers against whom the claim of injecting malware is. The Chrome and Edge version is affected but not the Firefox one because the same add-on is maintained by another person for Firefox: https://github.com/LiCybora/NanoDefenderFirefox/blob/master/README.MD and is changing name to distance itself from upstream https://github.com/LiCybora/NanoDefenderFirefox/issues/188. The person making the analysis on the linked thread gorhill is the developer of the popular add-ons uBlock Origin, uMatrix etc.
