Advanced Plus Security Moonhorse mobile config 2024

[Moonhorse]

For me nothing but a Pixel phone , my 8a has 7 years support and guaranteed updates until 2031, i personally do not like changing phones every 1 or 2 years. So this is the perfect phone for me. So i completely know how you feel.

Its nice 8 gets 7 years, pixel 6a only gets 5 years, but thats enough for me since im gonna replace my phone in 3 years anyways.

What i have used my sisters iphone 14 and my moms samsung a54
This 300 usd pixel 6a has as good camera as that iphone and its alot faster cpu/memory wise than samsung a54 that crawls

Definitely next phone i buy is pixel in 3 years, except if nokia gets anything decent out for decent price , but doubt it

8a will be by next phone later this year, for the same reasons and the positive reviews.

Have the pixel 6 myself " my second pixel as I had the 3a few years back, and have had many other brands, came back to pixel as it's just perfect for my needs and wants of a phone.

I actually traded my Samsung S21 ultra to get the pixel 6, no regrets.

Just bought a Pixel 8 Pro myself 2 weeks ago, at $500 off it was a no brainer.

Pixel system update updated to september patch.

After uninstalling adguard, replacing it with brave + zonealarm theres huge difference in battery usage, no more battery draining.

I have a Pixel 8 with Adguard, I never noticed a slowdown in battery usage but never really paid much attention to it, I will now. Basically I bought a cheap lifetime license to block ads, was using Blokada previously.Zonealarm is an AV, what are you using to block ads now?

Brave browser works fine, but zonealarm is kinda heavy on my desktop even i have high end rig, maybe i refund my 15 euros and revert back to microsoft defender wich has no problems running anything on desktop

On android microsoft launcher used alot of battery but when i removed adguard it randomly stopped draining battery so im not sure may those apps conflict together?

If i decide to remove zonealarm i either move on android to firefox + ublock origin or keep brave. Firefox feels better move, but i have to install beta to configure about:config....

On one of my mobile devices I experience the same issue with ADguard. I am still trying to find what cause the issue. I used ADguard for 5 years and never had an issue on a mobile device until now.
