supposedly a fix for the page load bug in #Fennec #Fdroid will be released soon, per conversation at the bottom of https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134
Recentemente eu havia alcançado um certo nível de paz na utilização da internet pelo celular com o fennec: os plugins estavam perfeitos: noscript, badger, ublock... Quando precisava, ligava temporariamente alguns js no noscript pra ver algum detalhe da página... Não era o paraíso, mas tava bom.
Até a última atualização... Agora, quando a página abre (geralmente não abre), demora uma vida. Eu já re instalei o navegador e continua igual. Logo suponho que não é problema do download. 😞
Não conheço nenhuma alternativa com essa flexibilidade e confiabilidade compatível com meu aparelho atual

@Techaltar looking at the stats I feel like you understestimated the size of the #fdroid project in your Nebula QnA. While it is still a bit niche, it has a huge impact in the Android realm.
anyone else experiencing the same bug as me? i updated Fennec #fdroid to version 142 on my phone and it exhibits this strange behaviour where if i opened the app and typed anything into the address bar (a search query, a website), it just wouldn't load. even though i know i'm properly connected to the internet, the progress bar will get stuck on like 25% or so. doesn't matter if i switched tabs or opened new ones, they will all get stuck.
but! if i say, summoned Fennec through a link from an external app (Google app search, a link in Discord), it'll only get stuck like that for a little before just proceeding to open the page like usual. no clueless waiting, no drama. and all the other tabs would work too... until i closed the app. opening it fresh again throws me back at square one with the mysterious, endless loading of... something??
@magomi wäre so schön, wenn...
Im #fdroid noch nicht verfügbar. Über #aurorastore installierbar. Aber:
Unter #lineageos nicht lauffähig, da #googleplay fehlt.

Non lo conoscevo ma sembra interessante, anche se ho esplorato poco e non credo che farò un altro account ma se qualcunə rimpiange Tumblr...
Se lo provate poi fate sapere com'è 😆

Any SMS app with encryption capability?
I saw that on fagli there’s Deku sms anyone have tried it?
Egy ideje a #Fennec#FDroid#Firefoxot használom Androidon, de az 142-es verzió óta nem igazán akarja betölteni az oldalakat. Úgy tűnik, valami bug van, mert ha bekapcsolva hagyom a bővítményeket (pl. #uBlock), akkor nem működik, de ha mindet kikapcsolom, akkor simán megy. Viszont #uBlock és társai nélkül nem akarok netezni, még Androidon sem. Most visszaváltottam egy Chromium-alapú böngészőre
@jayvii Before tagging us with an issue, do read our latest toots. We might have a fix out already 😉
@fdroidorg
#Thunderbird just updated to 12.0 and is now broken too. It won't show contents in subfolders.
@fdroidorg
Is this just happening to me? I have lots of email filters sorting RSS messages into imap folders, with the idea of reading them on my mobile devices.
When the folders turned out empty last night (except for the top level inboxes) my first scare was that Thunderbird had deleted all the messages., but I can still see them on the real Thunderbird on Linux.
I have rebooted my Android devices (Fairphone 5 and Lenovo Tab M11) without success. I have disabled unified inbox too.
Help!

@fdroidorg I've helped someone set up F-Droid Basic on their still Googled device. Do you know why the "manage app" setting is greyed out in Android? Does that mean that Android will forcefully remove #FDroid's permissions if not opened in a while?
Also, fully automatic update installation does not appear to be working? I think it used to work in the past...?

Ok my fellow nerds, #fennec, a #Firefox version compiled for #fdroid, doesn't load websites 80% of the time, completely randomly. I searched for solutions and concluded that since nothing works it must be #android itself that nerfs the competing browser.
My question is, how dumb is using something based on WebView, actually? I installed #Fulguris and it's blazing fast, seems to be working 100% of the time. It's open.
Since I have no experience with android development, is WebView chromium in disguise or is it fine? And I opening myself to all of the Google malpractice through it? I wish I could use Fennec but it turns literally useless, when I can't even load wikipedia most of the times.
