    It does not. The fingerprint always only unlocks the device's HSM ("secure enclave" in Apple speak).

    Between your devices enrolled in the ecosystem, private keys are synced securely (AFAIK, they make it so that an existing device’s HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one’s HSM); for signing up using your device on someone else's computer there's a process that combines QR codes with Bluetooth communication.

    Note that you pretty much can't store them with Google or Apple; smartphone biometric sensors operate the on-device HSM, not something remote.

    IIUC Apple syncs them using the most secure way they can, i.e. when you enroll a new device to your account the existing device, the existing device's HSM encrypts keys using the pubkey of the new one's HSM; and for recovery from being left with 0 Apple devices there might be (?) an escrow option that's optional (?)

    The Storage Access Framework is built precisely for this.

    On Firefox Android, adding to home screen is basically just a shortcut to open a very slightly app-ier tab (no browser toolbar, notification to copy the URL). Otherwise it's equivalent to normal browsing, so yes, your extensions work as usual. (Just checked myself with Tampermonkey).

    No, there's no additional information about your phone, that doesn't exist.

It's more fun to read NetHackWiki than to actually play the game IMO. It would be a huge downgrade from DCSS, which is carefully designed to be fun.

    You can actually literally watch marcan/lina/(more rarely)alyssa from asahi work on livestreams :) No, they don't actually do that kind of clean-room. There's no issue with learning about how the hardware works and directly applying that to writing drivers! Hardware and drivers aren't even comparable, they're complementary. One basically cannot infringe on the other.

    Clean-room techniques come from actually cloning very similar things. Basically the original Phoenix BIOS cloning IBM. As a more recent example Wine/ReactOS.
