WiFi and mobile data are activated all the time.

In our case, there are several problems with activating both WiFi and mobile data all the time:

• At home, if the WiFi is out of range, switched off, or temporarily out of service, Android would start to consume mobile data. This is highly relevant because, at her home, WiFi is unavailable from night time till early morning to enforce self-discipline.
• Outside home, there is no need for WiFi. Why should it be switched on when it will never be used outside home? It would just be a battery drain.

There is Plexus which does this

Thank you. That is exactly the website that I was looking for.

Linux phones

Will we be able to use messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal on Linux phones?

Looking forward to greater support for “driverless printing” in more Linux distributions, especially via IPP-over-USB. This would allow most consumer-level printers to be used directly from Linux without needing proprietary drivers and/or explicit Linux support from the printer vendor. This solves one of the common pain points when using desktop Linux at home.

it’s kinda lacking in features and unideal for the same reason I don’t like safari

I hope they implement support for WebExtensions soon. That would probably give GNOME Web a huge boost in features.

Another alternative: GNOME Web (a.k.a. Epiphany), which is based on the WebKit browser engine.
