Is this basically Ubuntu?

They do intentionally hold back packages based on a random value to do gradual rollouts. See below:

Could this be your issue?

One wonders if dropping Play Services support is enough to motivate a user who is already sufficiently determined to use a phone this outdated.

My dad: Unions are what's wrong with this country. I do everything I can to undermine them in the workplace.

Also my dad: They're abusing the workers! I can't even get a day off when I'm deathly ill without getting fired. Why won't anybody stand up for us?!

Don't even get me started on healthcare. He's a diabetic. You'd think it'd be a priority for him.

Wow! It was hardly worth it to begin with.

If an instance is just being slow I'll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

Only 47%? You'd be a fool to invest.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

I have a monitor that's almost like this and it's surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn't a factor.

Great, now implement modern exploit mitigations and sandboxing like Chrome uses. Firefox is objectively less resistant to exploitation. Some Firefox security has improved since the article was written, such as some sandboxing on Windows, but it's definitely not as mature.

I'm not writing that Firefox is insecure. Security is very important to Firefox! However, Chrome has had more work done in the realm of browser hardening.

They do, but Chrome is actively trying to remove support for most advanced ad-blocking capabilities. Further, Google has no financial incentive to make their browser hospitable to ad blockers as Google makes most of their money from advertising.

Google has pushed some half-baked ideas for how the web could work without having to block ads. Ad blocks aren't best buddies with Google.
