So, private tab without opening a private window? seems useful

how are they going to extinguish a open source project with this?

I know the phrase. How is Medium going to extinguish Mastodon is what I’m asking. For someone to EEE, they’ll have to own it first. Mastodon is still an independent organization.

No, they only announced plans to work together with devs to make the transition to mobile easier. It wasn’t a “all addons will work on Firefox android” announcement. Hopefully most popular addons transition

do they remove stories and other bloat?

At least he left the basement once in a while.

They kinda have to make some bold claims to stay relevant as Apple Vision might bankrupt them into oblivion when it releases.

If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don’t have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires “google play services”

If an app says it doesn’t rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won’t kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people’s activity.

Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don’t always get your notification when the app isn’t in the foreground.

Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.
