My family already uses signal as are default form of communication between each but the point that I forgot to add was for the 1% of conversation. Some of my family member have there own businesses that mostly use email but when we are in the field we use regular SMS/MMS/imessage for quick communication between "us" and the client. At least here we most only use plain SMS or iMessage if applicable is used because most people see messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp and other third party apps for personal use only.

 

So in the new upcoming major feature update for IOS, Apple is adding RCS support in there messaging app. What are the privacy implications of adopting RCS?

Is there any other apps that have RCS support on Android other than Google's own messaging app?

The reason for my asking is because I was considering migrating my relatives' messaging app to a RCS supported one because they will probably most likely enjoy the extra bandwidth of RCS.

Note, they're already using Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp for most of their conversations.

I should have asked more specifically asking how are they using zstd. I already understand that its a compression algorithm.

Can someone explain,

Firefox now supports Content-encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). This is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU use to get the same compression. This is heavily used on sites such as Facebook.

what it means for me the user and what it means for the people who host content?

I do agree that most of the detail gets lost. At least for me when the icon is smaller than 30x30~. I personally dislike the the simplification of the new icon makes it feel like it lacks any personality. I specifically miss the globe more then anything else. The globe made it feel like a web browser too me without it I wouldn't even known what it was the first time I saw it.

At less for me the newer two logos makes it feel more like a brand then a piece of software with a cute avatar.

I don't know how how to express my feeling and reasoning for my feeling into words.

Just so people know the 6th logo is Firefox's parent brand logo.

I hope the next Firefox logo is more stylized. I personally have like the 2013 logo the most but the first is a close second. Here is how the 2013 icon looks since it isn't on this list.
