I wonder if it's only happening on KDE? Either way, I'm sure it needs to be corrected.

That sucks and they need to fix it. Still out hasn't happened here yet. Are you on Gnome desktop environment?

I never have to launch twice on flatpak.

And I only keep conversations for 2 to 4 weeks so starting over doesn't bother me. Sorry if that doesn't work for you too.

I love Signal and use it with my family which is the majority of my messaging. But I was surprised to find out the rest of my family on iPhone are missing features I have on Android. This doesn't help bring the iPhone users.

Check out Wiremin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wiremin.im

It's pretty private but when I uninstalled the community was getting sparse and notifications were slow. Might be better or worse these days.

Ok, I've now had time to check this out. Android Firefox is set to strict Enhanced Tracking Protection which says offers fingerprint protection. If that is capping my refresh rate, then I can't see it. Scrolling is smooth.

In contrast, Mull is distractingly flashy when scrolling. There is absolutely something different going on here.

Ok, that actually sounds encouraging to me. Honestly, on Android Firefox I don't see the option for resist fingerprinting. I am using Strict Enhanced Tracking protection but that isn't affecting refresh. What am I missing?

Does Firefox standard fingerprint resistance include the refresh rate? Because I use Firefox over mull on Android because of the drastic difference when scrolling.

Those are the particular interactions for which I have used usernames. People I know have me in contacts. Also, iirc, if I change usernames in the middle of a conversation that conversation is able to continue until I delete it. Plenty of time to pass on a new name if desired.

And that is exactly why I find it unusable. I have a 120 Hz phone slowed down to a hideous 60 Hz. This is why use Firefox instead of mull.

I don't disagree with you either. But I think that when people give their phone number to a business they are often unaware of all of the nefarious ways it will be used, whether by ignorance or deception.

My point is just that replaceable usernames are perfect for random people you meet IRL or on the Internet because it's minimal trouble to disconnect permanently when the time comes.

I have given names to people on the Internet and changed names after our conversation was finished. I think that is much better than giving someone a phone number and much easier to change.
