I had times where the android Not Chrome would freeze on my phone. I turned off an extension that adds a panel for more buttons and the freezes disappeared. Idk if this will be relevant to your problem since it's your whole phone that froze but maybe you're using some problematic extensions or you may have had some settings that caused it.

Oman and Yemen have switched places. Other than that, I think this map is cool.

Libretube would have replaced the youtube app for me if not for how slow their instances are for me. So far I did not see any crashes but the pages would sometimes not load and would require you to change instances. I think the cause may have been that the instances are hosted far away from me geographically and that my current internet connection has been having issues for non-mainstream websites.

The other day, a place in the Philippines recorded a Heat Index of around 58 degrees Celsius (136 F). That is classified as Extreme Danger and most places have heat index a little bit lower than that.

I have two Xiaomi devices and use custom roms for both of them. While there are pages for them in the XDA forums, most of the new updates and developments of custom roms and kernels, at least for Xiaomi devices, happens within telegram groups.

Also from the Philippines and I don't know anybody else that use Fediverse aside from myself. Heck, nobody haven't even heard it and only a couple knows about reddit and discord. Literally everybody uses Facebook for everything and facebook messenger for messaging other people.

I have a similar experience, only visiting reddit for stuff like tech problems and very niche communities. I had never willingly visited the reddit homepage since.

There are a lot of posts now on lemmy compared to before the reddit fiasco but is not like the activity on reddit. The good thing though is that it made me stop my habit of mindlessly scrolling through endless content.
