  • Two reasons.

    One is the form factor.

    While certainly my ROG phone plus gamesir is enough to even emulate this gen’s handheld games. It cannot beat playing a gba game on an Anbernic rg35xxsp.

    Second is that some owns a low tier or a very old phone and they don’t want to throw it away because it still works perfectly fine.

    So instead of spending 300 bucks for a decent mid tier phone replacement, plus accessories, spending 99 bucks is far more cost effecent.

    Then there is that storage issue. Some newer phones today no longer have an sd card slot for expandable storage.

    Plus some if not all of these handhelds are moddable as fuck too.













  • Well what do you expect when all of a sudden they started making their own browser over contributing to Firefox.

    The entire reason why Chrome was created was for Google to push the web forward at their own pace. Away from the previous iteration that heavily relied on browser helper objects (plugins).

    Here we are though, Google having a huge influence over the spec. Mainly because the competition weeded out to only Firefox remaining.

    Sure, Edge might be considered competition for Google, but at the end of the day, Edge, Opera (unfortunately), Vivaldi, Brave, and similar browsers are essentially Chrome reskins.

    PS: I am considering Edge as a competition for Google as Microsoft is well known for being EEE (Extend, embrace, extinguish). But more importantly, they have the man power to maintain their own fork if things do get out of hand.
