I use Android stock. Latest version. For the last 3 years I have been using signal for encrypted phonecalls. When I talk to people about specific subjects a few hours later I get recommendations on youtube based on things and keywords I mentioned during that call.

I don't have youtube installed on my android phone and removed most google apps. I also installed a firewall and blocked all remaining google apps and services too.

Signal is useless if the OS is compromised and I think at least stock android is compromised. I cannot speak for other alternative android versions like graphene OS.

Also I noticed I have got recommendations based on people I have been talking to. For example I met someone from Colombia, we talked during a meeting. I went home and I started getting recommendations based on Colombia and stuff about that country. So Android not only can listen to your conversations they can create maps about people you interact with and serve you videos based on that.

Had a trip to another city by train, there was a guy next to me, he was watching boxing videos on his laptop not his phone. He was the whole time sitting next to me. When I got home start the browser and load youtube and there you have it boxing videos recommended. Same day when I never searched for that kind of videos.

Maybe google wont passively harass most people showing them recommendations based on things they have said during their signal calls but in my case it happens most of the time and it's obvious because it's things I never searched on youtube or any search engine.

I wanted to share this because people put too much faith on signal but if the OS is listening there is nothing you can do and from personal experience android is always listening.

Firefox enables safebrowsing by default which connects to google. Sharing your data with them and can only be disabled by changing the setting in about:config

Firefox dns resolver is off but the browser still connects to cloudflare dns

Mozilla stores their data in google servers?!. hmmm

I have used firefox for many years but now I have the feeling they use some refine tweaks to get our browsing history by other means not to mention mozilla data is stored in google servers.

Il2 1946 is a very competitive AI. I can fly a mission with more than 100 units in the AI and no issues.

But gets my attention AI seems to have no cockpit blind spots and seems to be able to boost when climbing when the AI is in a low energy state.

I wonder if anyone has tried to fix that. Since we have many mod packs like BAT, VPmod and HSFX. But none has fully fixed these issues.

On the website it says 90GB of storage by the way. SSD drive has 150GB so plenty of space.
