Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”

    The Firefox Phone should’ve been a real contender. I just want a browser in my pocket that takes good pictures and plays podcasts.

      Unfortunately Mozilla is going the enshittification route more and more. Or good in this case that the Firefox Phone did not take of.

        Is there some good Chromium browser with hardware video decoder support and a working adblocker, that is not Brave? Or which Firefox fork is recommended?
