@Wetrix this actually may not be a good thing... If the browser sends DNS requests over HTTPS then this might interfere with adblocking. If you're running an and blocker on your phone for example or on your router and it cannot see DNS requests then it cannot block ads. You'd ideally want your phone or router to update DNS over HTTPS and act as a local DNS server for you, that way you get both adblocking and secure DNS requests.

@glitcher32 I tried using it but it's got no way to log DNS requests per app.

@glitcher32 maybe you know how to help me. I log DNS requests using Adaway but I want to log DNS requests per app and show me which apps request which domains, so I can block the domains. Does netguard do this? Is there another FOSS app that does?

@hinterwaeldler I think an important point against the article was left out: jingle and video chat. That was a big one with the growth of high bandwidth connections. XMPP just did not work well, and to this day there is not a single XMPP client on Android with good Jingle support. The only one that ever came close was Jitsi. Why mess with Jabber when I can use Skype? People like open standards whether they know it or not, but they like things that work seamlessly even more.

@Mayana @nikolal that's a good saying.

There used to be a time when to fork a project you had to have something to offer, some change in how it functions, that the maintainer did not want to implement. It seems to me that all they're doing is capitalizing on outrage culture to create a project without actually offering anything new of value to users. Just a name change? Anyone who would deliberately pick the new one over a name deserves to have their titties slapped.

@Mayana @nikolal why draw the line at Gimp? I'm being facetious, of course, but that is my point. What I'm really trying to say is who cares if "gimp" can be construed as insulting to some person or other? Its not like the application is named the N word. Why are we even considering the opinions of people who seem to be going back and looking for any way to construe every word as offensive and wiping it from our lexicon? Why not just tell them to go fuck themselves?

@jeff @nikolal let's fork Glimpse and name it Pimp Limp. Off the top of my head, I'm sure they put a lot of thought into the name Glimpse but obviously not enough.

@glitcher32 @Wetrix lol do you? What's their name?

@nikolal the word "glimpse" can be offensive to blind people. Oh no better fork that one too.

@theprivacyfoundation I've heard that at Microsoft in the 90s it was against the rules to refer to maxing a photocopy as "xeroxing" or referring to a photocopy machine as a "xerox machine". Companies are very conscious about branding, and most of them try to stop branding for others while working towards one day having their brand synonymous with a verb.

Since learning this I've made an effort to never refer to a common action or thing with a brand name.
