Nah. You just pay 10bux per gig. That's it. The only time I've had to buy extra data was when my internet went down and I tethered for a few days.

nope, still the best

- compact model (slightly smaller than an iphone 7) so you can reach the whole screen
- good enough processor and stuff (if you need more power lol get a real computer you dumb sperg)
- good camera with fast autofocus (but also consider the above s/computer/camera)
- doesn't come with android newest, which has the garbage ugly emoji (one generation out of date so still has the classic cute turtle)
- waterproof so you can watch porn in the shower

a+

basically it's the stebephone 5steve of androids

i notice you dont mention the fingerprint sensor which is actually there but sony does not activate for non asian markets

that's apparently a patent/license restriction so you can blame the unbelievably understaffed and underfunded USPTO for that one

anyway you can just install a generic OEM ROM (doesn't require root access) if you want it active. i did that for my last sony and haven't had any problems

I think you have malware, bro. Probably why your adblocked "disappeared" itself at the same time.

Also chlamydia but that's from, you know...

firefox in general seems to be merrily imploding for the last few updates, barreling toward firefox 57 which is going to nuke almost all the extensions i use

i really don't want to switch to chome because i hate that chome doesn't have a search box

nothing about a UI widget is "awesome" that's more open sores tech masturbating. omni, while maybe an "omnious" name is more accurate and better.

i disagree but i think at this point you can still turn it off. my favorite part is opening theater mode on a youtube video to make it expand to the full width of your browser window, which was impossible up until this point.

i think it includes a dark mode too? and changes the toggle icon, and some stuff is slightly bigger. overall i think it's good and i've been waiting for it to be available on my account for a few months, before it was only available when i was signed out of youtube or in an incognito window. i'd tried to force it by going to https://youtube.com/new while signed in but it told me there wasn't anything there.
