One of the problems I have with Crome on android is that it gives itself root level access to your phone but you as a user aren’t naturally given that level of access it’s because of that I’m not allowed to backup my bookmarks directly on my phone in an organized way without them being a jumbled mess.

I know I can back them up to google and download a zip file of by bookmarks in an organized structure but then there goes my browsing privacy if I didn’t want my privacy tracked.

I know I could’ve used another browser but Crome being the default browser on android means that you’ll no doubt end up having a lot of bookmarks saved because of convenience before you realize your mistake and having to sign into google to backup again

If you care about browser privacy, you should not be using Chrome, and it truly is that simple. If you want a chrome-like browser with privacy, Vivaldi or Chromium is a good choice, but Chrome-proper is absolutely not a "private" browser

Not an option. iOS doesn’t have the all of the options that I want. Such a emulators and accessing the file structure via a file manager.

I’m also just recently bought a new iOS device a 2022 iPhone se. I bought it to replace my iPod touch and oh boy the differences between iOS 9 and iOS 16 make it look like a completely different OS some things I can’t figure no matter how many times I try to google it mostly because I can’t get a straight answer.

Like Twitter won’t play videos when I’m signed in through the safari browser I also can’t seem to share pictures from webpages straight to my google drive from safari it just won’t show the thumbnail preview before I press save to drive
