Especially since I realized I really only listen to podcasts with my phone so having it sync to multiple devices wasn't really a worry for me. Great app!

Despite improvements, it's still unreliable. https://alternativeto.net/news/2024/5/google-s-ai-overview-feature-faces-criticism-for-inaccuracies-and-potential-dangers-/ The new #ProtonMail #Android app is now available for everyone! 💬 Easily follow email threads with the new conversation mode Download the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.protonmail.android This provides a solid foundation for delivering new features faster in the future.

@protonprivacy Or even just having your own F-droid repro (in which case you're not bound to the F-droid rules, but at least users could download and keep track of updates without using the Google Play Store) 😕. That's bothering me much more than the app itself ever did. Counts for all your apps really (beside the ones already on F-droid ofc)... @protonprivacy looks good and I’m glad the app is getting so much better on both iOS and Android. These Android folks clamoring for more “private” store options are giving me a good laugh though. You all know what you signed up for. @protonprivacy Can one search content of emails yet, in the app? I have thousands and thousands of emails in my inbox and I can’t get by without content search, so it is what holds me back from switching.

 @alternativeto I'd much, much rather they just improve the addon APIs such that existing addons can feel as good as "native" integration would be, like back in the XUL days...  @alternativeto really glad #Firefox is working on improving performance across the board, and I have been using #floorp so I already have a form of vertical tabs, but would be nice to have that on base firefox. .@racketlang 8.13 introduces new libraries for efficient list operations, new hash filtering functions, vector pre-population, better command-line tool progress displays, Unicode 15.1 support, cross-module optimization, and improved LaTeX compatibility. |
