I have a 3-year-old Samsung. Most of the time I keep it between 30 and 80%, with the occasional full charge about once a month. It has always had fast charging disabled in settings.
AccuBattery shows the health at 88%, and the battery life is noticeably worse than it was initially. I used to get two days of light usage between 80 and 30, but now it barely lasts one. With GPS and camera usage, that lasts about half a day.
In comparison, my previous phone, a OnePlus with no charging limit and always charged on its fast charger, also reached 85% after just under 4 years.
So, I don’t think it has been worth intentionally crippling my battery life with this phone.
The Edge 20 series isn't on the list and it's only about 2 years old...

Here is a script to easily install WireGuard and generate client config files for any server: https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

The issue is that as soon as you introduce the ability to install apps from outside the App Store, it becomes possible to trick unsuspecting users into clicking buttons they don't understand. By designing a web page to look like an actual Apple page, a malicious party could convince users to "opt in" to outside sources, in a similar way in which phishing websites harvest users' online banking credentials. Currently, this kind of attack is entirely impossible on iPhone.
On malware being distributed through alternate stores, yes. For example:
The real user benefit will be very small
This is just my gut feeling. It is based on not knowing anyone IRL that has willingly installed an Android app from outside the Play Store, but actually knowing people that avoid it because of the potential security implications.
You have to remember that the vast majority of smartphone users are not power users, and not the people who hang out on these forums. While something may look attractive in small circles like these, there are many other factors to consider when targetting the entire userbase.
Is it a local-only client, or does it download email on their cloud servers first?
I think it refers to an MMORPG related to the Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West games.
Now, Google is bringing in Manifest V3, a new version of Chromium.
If this is the level of their understanding, it's hard to trust anything this outlet publishes.
After the latest update, instance names have disappeared from the subscription section on the navigation drawer. There doesn't seem to a be setting to bring those back. Without them, it's hard to distinguish between communities with similar names on different instances.
