Ditto. The security department made the push because too many people were installing unapproved addons like ublock. They are mandating chrome, “for security”. LMAO

The irony is that people are signing into chrome with personal gmail and leaking stuff.

I like to think that using FOSS daily, singing its praises to everyone and filing out the occasional bug report counts.

I think you’re saying that we should be giving parents the tools to parent their kids and the accountability to take responsibility when their parenting affects others negatively.

I’ve been saying this for years.

I’m running /e/ OS 1.8.1. Avenza seems to be the problem here. There are other apps too, but this is the lastest. It’s frustrating to be required to use closed source proprietary software for public services, like the forestry maps.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for.

Osmand is great for most of what I need on a daily basis, but on a trip a few years ago, some of the hiking trails were not up to date and we got lost. It wasn’t terrible, but it was uncomfortable and fortunately we had paper maps.

I would like to use the maps provided by the park or forestry service since I like to think that they’re current, but they rely on Avenza which relies on Google. I’m okay taking a risk on Avenza for the short duration of the trip and plan to not give it network access, but I doubt I could do that with Google Play services, much less cleanly uninstall it after the trip is over.

I have and use OSMAnd and love it. I’ll check out those other apps. Mostly, I want to use the trail maps provided by the park. I’ve been burned in the past when using other trail apps.

This is like those sites where you just need that recipe for the Bloomin’ Onion sauce because you forgot one ingredient and you get the life story of the author:

“We were riding on horseback around Tuscany when my riding boot got scuffed by the buckle, so we stopped by a local cobbler to repair it while we listned to the church bells of a nearby…”

3 screens later…

“There was an Outback Express at the airport and I asked the waiter…”

“Horseradish” Oh yeah!

Most government sites must be accessible to individuals with disabilities such as low vision or other imapirments. You can’t require a blind person to use chrome to apply for a job.
