  • I don’t think it will make enough of an impact for Alphabet to actually give a shit but I agree they’re getting out of control with the ads and I think a handful of people will start looking for alternatives. I recently switched from Google to Kagi and I set up Firefox to redirect all YouTube links to Piped lol I think a lot of people are already trying to find alternatives to Google products due to general enshittification but they’re so big I don’t really see it hurting them in any significant way. I would love to see something actually compete with YouTube though tbh. I personally try to use non Google alternatives whenever possible these days












  • Material You/automatic color themes. I have a huge collection of wallpapers I’ve built up over the years and now I can only use a select few unless I want the entire phone os to be themed in ugly pastel colors like light brown or yellow or puke green. I literally just want an alternative option to pick my own color scheme or at this point I’d even be happy with the standard blue accent for everything instead of basing the entire os theme on random colors from my wallpaper. I also hate the rounded corners though! Especially the way phone displays are all rounded off and it just absolutely wrecks the resolution of everything. Having a camera sensor in the middle of the screen is kinda annoying too
