    Another problem is that Safari is not compatible with the web. Like, I'm not going to prevent myself from using aspect ratios on images because some people made the bad decision of getting an inferior phone that locks them out of using good browsers. And many devs couldn't have known about it until the website was done and published to prod and iOS users started complaining about it because testing with Safari costs thousands of dollars in Apple hardware - and even if it was caught, it's still Apple's fault.

    For the Nexus 7, you might want to download its LineageOS build before it's lost to time:

    • https://download.lineageos.org/devices/debx/builds
    • https://download.lineageos.org/devices/flox/builds

    It's on Android 11, a huge jump from its last official build on Android 6.0.1.

    And to be fair, this is the reason to get a Google device.

    You know already that all Android manufacturers are assholes and will use planned obsolescence to make you buy a new device, including Google. You can plan accordingly by getting one that can be easily flashed and flashed back to stock in case of problems. That leaves you with one single Android manufacturer: Google.

    And with this in mind, a device that lasted from Android 4.3 (2012) to Android 11 (2021), or 9 years... that's pretty damn good.
