Brave browser. Just works.

Rocking a 200$ OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and it’s doing the job pretty well! Thinking of flashing PixelOS into it once I get bored with Oxygen OS.

For me, Redreader definitely counts as a good reddit app…

Love Voyager’s UI.

It already is outside the US

I rarely have more than 5 tabs open at once

Finally! A sane Firefox user who doesn’t open 3000+ tabs in a session…

Funny because I thought so too, but actually went ahead with it on my Nord CE 2. Fixed my battery issues amazingly well.

Same here.

Should I be surprised?

Meanwhile, Mozilla themselves in 2021:

Sorry but I didn’t get it- wait for…?

Seems like I’ve finally found a fellow human being who uses a modest system like me, haha. Similar specs, and I too use a debloated version of Windows 10- it works very nicely.

Thanks for these recommendations- I’ll try these out right now and see how it goes.

I would be more than happy to try Linux, but until now I just thought I shouldn’t before I try it on a secondary machine, something that I don’t have at the moment.

But right now, it seems that I am just missing out. Would try Linux Mint this week if possible!

I already use uBO and it’s terrific! But yes, I don’t think much can be done because my old CPU is the main issue here and it can’t be replaced sadly.

Hmm, you reckon? I do have another RAM slot empty (8GB (currently in use) + 8 GB (empty right now)).

Seems like I should add more RAM to my laptop for now.

I do have an SSD, and it’s a huge improvement from an HDD no doubt!

replace ur cpu thermal paste to avoid thermal throtltling and make sure it makes good contact with heat sink+clean fan with brush

This I’d do! Thanks!

I don’t see any downside to these updates though, to be very honest.
