Whilst I am sure the article might be low quality ultimately, I still wish to see what other options they are advocating. This is clearly just a screenshot and only the first option for blocking ads.

Google Chrome updates will stop coming to some Galaxy phones - SamMobile in c/android@lemmy.world

I know this site is dedicated to Samsung phones but the title could be framed better. Chrome isn't just being stopped updating for older Galaxy phones, it is being dropped for all pre Oreo Android devices, so it has a much wider reach than just Samsung.

Also, why does Opera require Android 12 as a minimum system requirement? I haven't used it on mobile but boy, they really cut off a lot of older android users.

Pop up notification each time Firefox starts (lemm.ee)
 

I have set a primary password on my browser. Due to which, whenever I open my browser, the first thing it does is ask for primary password. I wish this to happen only when I am accessing the passwords or when a site is autofilling it[ thus, necessitating the unlocking of the vault].

Is there a way to disable it at the browser start? I went through an old StackOverflow thread but no solution there. There used to be an extension called MasterPassword that solved this but the link seems to be broken now.

The Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox (gitlab.com)
 

This extension is a different one from the 'Bypass Paywalls' one. Earlier, it was available in Firefox add on repos. Now it can be sideloaded. It is available for all major browsers.

Do not kill me, but I was paying for a magazine app, that only yesterday I realized was working flawlessly with this extension despite the site not being a very popular one.

Also, there is a browser based on Firefox, well it's engine Atleast, called 'Smart Cookie Web Preview' on Android that allows side loading of extensions. This allows you to use this extension on Android as well and basically bypass multiple Paywalls on the go.
