  • I have a 2013 phone running Android 13. Sony Xperia Z, found in e-waste in 2023 in great condition (except for dust in the camera). I used it a lot and even replaced the battery, although that didn’t make much difference, it just kept overheating and discharging like crazy on modern websites. The notification LED broke in a peculiar way (likely shorted driving transistor, burning it out within hours) and so did the vibrator. Recently, I dropped it and the back shattered but I still carry it every day, although now it’s a secondary phone (can’t get some apps running on my primary one although both are degoogled). It has a 32-bit processor, noisy camera and no fingerprint reader, but a 5" 1080p LCD, MHL (HDMI over microUSB), NFC and headphone jack. And a mediocre FM transmitter that can be enabled with custom drivers for the Qualcomm chip. It was covered in Janus Cycle’s video on monoliths.













  • Profiles have been around for a very long time. They are collections of all browser data for a given user - pretty much all of the browser’s disk usage except for the executable itself. AFAIK the new switcher just makes using multiple profiles easier. Just keep in mind that profiles are completely isolated, and creating a new one is like a fresh Firefox install. You can copy profiles but the copies will not sync between each other unless you synchronize them with a Firefox account turns out you can’t have one Firefox account assigned both at the same time.

    BTW when creating a new profile (not a copy), I suggest https://ffprofile.com/ to opt out of telemetry etc. easily.
