Nope, You generalize large country based on my comment. it's mistake.
First thing, I am advocate of Open Source but I don't mind Anything that is doing something ethically.
Whatsapp, I believe is biggest hypocrisy. It advocates, argues for privacy and against spying while it being itself a spyware.
I don't mind whatsapp existing, i wouldn't simply use it,right? No, like i have mentioned in comment above, my college forces us to use whatsapp. Atleast it has API? no. or some standardized protocol? No.
Since it's spyware and it is pushed down my throat, i wish it not to exist. Since, whatsapp has gone against government itself, and we know that government doesn't like itself to be criticized, well it may ban Whatsapp itself, because then, my college will more likely to move to Telegram and it has atleast open source client.
Well, your criticism comes out of air without valid claims. i never told that the government should give it free to me because i like it.
moreover, my dislike of whatsapp has valid reasons.

I don't want end to end encryption to be banned and tbh, I don't trust Whatsapp's end to end encryption.
There are better alternatives to whatsapp which are open source, you know.
and no, the government is not going to block end to end encryption.

I wish the Indian Government bans Whatsapp altogether ( I fully support Indian Government to do this).
My main grudge against Whatsapp comes from the fact that my college forces us to use it since the official group of my class is in whatsapp. I don't want to run that proprietary spyware on my phone. I feel it to be like neo-colonialism. Notes,etc. are sent there. It would be better if they switched to something better like telegram.
Another thing is that it spreads fakenews and propaganda and many people believe them.
I believe that banning Whatsapp in India gives more privacy to Indians.
P.S: I am Indian

Nice.
Rust is nice language btw.
But,when will stable version of Rust be released? By stable,i mean, number of new features added must not be too much. Rust currently seem to be adding too many features every release (which is nice but also not so good at same time)
https://github.com/michael-rapp/ChromeLikeTabSwitcher
Latest chrome and it's derivatives(except brave) have removed this in favour of grid layout which i dislike(they also brought in tab groups which i despise entirely)
I know that brave has shady stuff like blockchain and ads, but they can be turned off. On desktop, i use firefox and i want to use firefox on android too but i find android firefox(fenix) janky.
Please suggest me good browser and also a suggestion to chrome developers:
Please don't remove things that we like. atleast provide option to enable it
