They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.

I tried a few players and they all have issues. :(

Damn, I didn’t know streamable is so crappy now…

Anyway, I’ve tried a lot of different players and they all struggle.
On the phone it’s almost fine, but any Android TV Box just gets killed with a sufficiently complex scene.

Most anime have .ASS subtitles and are kinda complex sometimes with singsong related subtitles, but never had any issues on android with them.

That’s exactly what I meant. Most simple subtitles will be fine.

This example is still relatively simple, but it should give you an idea: https://streamable.com/nj8fey
Good fansubs can sometimes do really crazy things, including replacing entire moving backgrounds.

For some content DirectPlay is just not possible, as much as I’d love it to be.

More complex stylized subtitles will absolutely trash almost any Android device unless transcoded.

Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you’re using legacy drivers or the new version that’s party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

That’s a very… capitalist way of thinking.

You know what else is unsafe? Letting Windows force the auto-update and break your bootloader (and that’s just their latest fuck-up).

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

I’d mention that if they allowed me to even access the front page from my country. :)

Japanese publishers’ idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).

Gee, I wonder why that didn’t work!

Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.

Outrage narrative? Are you talking about me, or you?

Are you actually a Proton user, or you just here to shitpost? Because there are features that were promised years ago and then forgotten about, because they aren’t trendy enough.

Is a paying customer not allowed to complain that they waste their time on chasing the next popular thing, instead of, I dunno, delivering important features promised years ago?

I think making it an opt-out is sensible

Why? I’m not in the business of making ad companies’ jobs easier.

It’s EU’s GDPR.

Anything like a newsletter or marketing must be opt-in. And it cannot be bundled with other consent, that is they can’t refuse to provide you a service if opt-in isn’t absolutely necessary.

To be honest, not sure if any other countries have such laws.

Opt-in by default is illegal, so OP has every right to be annoyed.
