"Google-free" FOSS Android-builds (Graphene, /e/, iodé) are available today and usable for most tasks. Just make sure your government IDs and banking apps don't depend on proprieta…

Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge and even Brave have "HTTPS first" or "HTTPS by default" enabled out of the box. HTTP is only used as a fallback.

It can't handle OpenDocument files (odt, odp, ods) well. Only a one-way import is supported. https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/document_e... There are parts that ar…
