  • Switching back to Firefox

  • I don't think there's any sense in overlooking flaws just because something is overall better. Firefox is the massively better choice if the goal is to avoid data collection. However, I don't think that means it's fair to let things slide so easily. A community that calls out its developers when they make a mistake can ultimately improve things, and prevents devs from saying "they won't understand and they won't care." Firefox isn't a total angel when it comes to data collection, I mean telemetry being opt-out instead of opt-in is a pretty big boon, even if it's not as bad as it is in other browsers. I'm not sure what agenda you believe is being pushed here, I never once suggested folks jump ship from Firefox to Chrome.

  • Y'all can downvote this person but they aren't necessarily wrong. Unfortunately, it seems you have to pick the poison you know in the browser space or take a risk with something else. And something else is usually just one of those original poisons wearing a different label. That said, there are some projects that tend to be of better form than others. Consider the Mullvad Browser and Librewolf. Those two are built on Firefox but are "fixed" enough to mitigate the crap Firefox has done. For Android, I believe Mull browser is the best one can get right now, it's like a mobile Arkenfox.

  • How bad does the USB-C to AUX dongle ruin audio quality?

  • The USB C to 3.5mm dongles out there are plentiful and to be honest you can't really go wrong with any one. At the end of the day, they all behave pretty similarly as they contain a DAC and an amp built them. At this point, the world of audio has gone far enough that decent audio chips are pretty cheap and it's not all that likely you'll actually hear any significant differences between different dongles.

    If you are an Android user, be wary of which dongle you get if you're looking at the Apple ones. Depending on the region the dongle is made for, some users report issues where the dongle chooses not to amplify the signal properly. I ran into this problem with the model MU7E2AM/A and it's just annoying. Android and external DACs can be kinda hit or miss for some reason, and the dongle only functioned properly using a specific music player app that kinda overrides the system and forces it to use the DAC (the app is USB Audio Player Pro).

    You can buy dongles pretty cheap on the cheapo sites like Aliexpress, which isn't a terrible idea. You could buy a few cheaper ones and be fine for a long while. I've had issues with the longevity of certain dongles, daily use can sometimes put physical stress on the USB connector if you're not careful, which is why I would just keep a few different dongles and chew through em as needed.
