These are miui shenanigans. You can disable chrome in settings and set different browsers as default on most other Roms like oneui, stock android, realmeui, etc. Last time I used miui, I decided never again.

Plus some upgrade discounts, but both policies will only apply to customers in India.

Here's the URL to the dev's privacy policy as listed on the Play Store. It should give a better idea of what he actually does: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/28463889
KeepassDX. The best password manager IMHO. It supports saving passwords, ability to open them with biometrics and is seamless and offline. I have been using it since 2019. Redreader for reddit provides the best offline reddit experience. Also using it since 2019. Personaldnsfilter, pretty much a fire and forget app. No setup required at all. These are some of my favorite apps and I have more.
Firefox could get litigated for ad fraud and these trusted 3rd parties could block firefox from accessing the sites. It won't work.
Not much. Just that lemmy[.]world instance was hacked
Lemmy should have the option to spoiler/NSFW pics in comments.
Play Store has strict rules for apps with user generated content. You have to provide ways to block and report users/content to stay on the play store. Glider didn't provide a way to automatically report things by the user as hacker news doesn't provide one. So, google suspended it. Here's the github issue if you are interested: https://github.com/Mosc/Glider/issues/83
If you are using hacker news on mobile. I would recommend Glider. It's a smooth hacker news client. Unfortunately, the dev had his app removed from the play store for reasons but you can access it from its github or fdroid.
Native apps are apps written in the native language of the platform of choice. It would be Java for Android and swift for IOS. Native apps can request lower level access to your system than a webapp.
Now, a webapp is a basically a website which can run like a native app with similar features and is full screen unlike a website. The language is javascript for the front-end and the backend(server) handles some communication. So, webapps can behave and act like native apps but they are not native and won't have the same lower level access to your system. Think access to storage, accessibility services, settings, etc. Webapps can also be slower compared to native apps which is prominent in non-flagship smartphones.
It's there on mobile. Check the details tab in tracking protection. You should see it mentioned there.
