I can't tell if it's my browser(I use Firefox and the extensions doesn't detect anything such as trackers, etc), authenicator app, the site/booru itself, or just me: When I tried to get 2FA enabled, I screenshot the QR code and I try to put it in my auth app: It works but the codes don't despite the screenshot not being tampered with and its the correct one, I tried few times and still didnt work. When I put the key manually, it works perfectly and the codes work as well. Strange how the QR code method doesnt work but yet the key does.

Can agree, Firefox does some weird things on both phone and PC: On my phone, if I were try to leave a site and I'm logged in but I need to do something like read emails and whatnot, it logs me out and slows down my phone, on PC: Takes up RAM (most browsers are like that) and it's pretty slowish (maybe because of extensions or Firefox's broken)

yea, i use to use firefox but changed to brave when they had more of the privacy and libtard issues, though i also had other problems with it.

Pretty much my reasons, it's because of privacy (iirc they had Firefox Klar because of EU privacy laws and I don't get why we don't have that in the US and other countries, a lot of companies are basically data mining you: Some people actually need extra privacy due to living in oppressed countries, domestic violence survivors speaking about their experiences, etc), performance, and politics (Tech companies , please stop telling me about your political issues, left and right, I don't care. I'll use your product if it's functional and meets the bare minimum bonus if it goes above it). I'm planning to give up FF and Vivaldi and just switch at this point)

I hope it's legit because there was that "Freedom Phone" incident, from what I've heard and read it was supposed to be "free-speech friendly" and "privacy friendly" while using some proprietary OS and using closed source apps so it's not really a Freedom Phone.
Theres LineageOS, iirc it's degoogled and that you can have more years of security updates depending on your phone since it varies. Dunno if it's good because I haven't tried it out yet and my phone isn't currently supported (weird how Linux and other distros have no problem supporting all PCs while Android distros require to have said phones)

Yea, but Erik Prince (the blackwater CEO guy) mentioned that. The key difference between his phone and all the others apps and OS's is that it's not just software. His company were responsible for the hardware and assembling the phone too, not just an app/software. This is important because from what i heard the hardware itself has backdoors for intel agencies into them on phones.
