but like what naked123 mentioned it is a trusted website. Cheers
It might have gain the trusted site reputation way back in 2018 when it was ad free and the "reputation" just persist to this date, unlike the past, current website has 393 different ads listed

So why do news outlet still uses it as a source? because it's simply convenient for them to get notified on updates, they uses their ad free channel like rss, telegram, github commits notification, I am very certain none of the news outlet uses the ads full website itself

Just because everyone gotten conditioned to being used to ads, having their data harvested and nobody step back and questioned it, the standard of quality for "trusted site" sure has fallen a lot

So yes, I can trust their notification channel to let me know when there is an update but I sure as hell ain't trusting the website interface itself

I be damned to even recommend it, let alone trust it, after it throw 3 auto playing video ads with 1 fake download button in my face the first thing I opened it

People I know would probably be fooled into clicking the fake button and getting PUP or malware on their computer/phone

You could say people who don't use ad block probably shouldn't even be looking to update before it's officially stable and available within the setting menu of the phone

But damn, clearly website users isn't their main focus, unless there is a specific reason, ie: specific older firmware, I don't see any other reason for people to recommend it over the official webpage

U happy can liao bro :s13:
Hard to be happy leh :(

Ordered Poco F3 and Mi Pad 5 on 4/4 but status still showing: "Parcel has departed from Hong Kong sorting centre" Seriously can't wait :)

Of course official webpage is better as it is from xiaomi itself. I do not deny that i am using the firmware from xiaomi directly if i need to return back to MIUI in case something happens to the phone.

That website offers firmware for the phone (not the rom), but this is not available from xiaomi official website too. This firmware is required if a particular custom rom has a minimum firmware version requirement.

I have been using the website ever since i gotten poco f3, and i have been playing custom roms since ages ago including on poco f3. I am not forcing you or anyone here to accept to download firmware from that website, but i am just saying that website is trustable (i am not affiliated to the website too)

Why yours so long... think most of us order on 4.4 already received our F3...maybe your delay is due to Mipad..

I just missed 4.4 buying opportunity. How will the poco f4 affect f3 prices? Or should I just buy f4 when it launches?
