I’ve got a brand new Pixel 8 and my battery isn’t making it through the day. Android tells me Firefox is eating it up in the background. I just changed it to restricted battery use and I’ll see if that helps.
I do not want to switch to Brave or Chrome, but this is intolerable. What are you favorite Firefox alternatives and why? Mull? Librewolf?
It is probably all the google telemetry and monitoring and wifi scanning to map your location for sale that is running in the background. I plan on getting a pixel 7a soon but will immediately wipe the google junk and load grapheneos. Apart from getting rid of all the spyware this also doubles the battery run times.
Was thinking about doing this also but not sure if its worth it as im already using lineage
If you value the extra privacy and security, then it’s absolutely worth it.
Yes but I dont have a pixel and I use mostly foss apps on my phone. The few nonfree apps are in a shelter sandbox (not sure how comparable this is to graphene’s sandboxing).
But does Google pay and banking apps work ?
