Termux cos the Google Play version is depreciated since Android 10.
F-droid is great. But I wish f-droid had some kind of rating system so that I could use it more.
NewPipe
Simple calendar
Simple gallery
SD Maid
KeePassDX
MuPDF mini
Open contacts
OsmAnd~

Jerboa
F-droid
ps: how do you make a list on Jerboa/lemmy?
It’s markdown format, starting a line with - will show a bullet point
Xtra is on the play store. At least it was
I wouldn’t trust that. Play store is filled with ripoffs of foss apps with lots of ads and god only knows what. Also xtra blocks ads, which is a big no-no on the play store.
Only download from the sources listed on the app’s github/gitlab page https://github.com/crackededed/Xtra
Spoiler: only from F-Droid
Apparently it isn’t anymore
Xtra the only way I can watch Twitch on my Firestick. Fuckin Twitch ads are ridiculous.
Same with youtube. Newpipe is a must nowdays. From desktop I use freetubeapp.io
Native Alpha.
Save web apps, into one application, with extra privacy settings (like javascript blocking)
I use an app called Seal. You could think of it as a fronted for youtubedl. The interface is really beautiful and you can download videos from many different websites.
Another one is ViMusic, this is just an app that streams songs from YouTube music without any ads. edit: fixed spelling of vimusic
Love Vimusic! For people that don’t like the interface, there’s also Innertune which works very similarly to Vimusic. Haven’t needed Spotify since 😁
TrackerControl full version
TrackerControl is an Android app that allows users to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour (‘tracking’).
This is amazing, thank you
welcome to the rabbit hole lol
Tachiyomi, but honestly I mostly use Neko which is a fork of TachiyomiJ2K which is a fork of Tachiyomi. Both aren’t on Fdroid but at least they are completely FOSS.
It’s the best Manga reader out there and it supports basically every Manga website out there and more.
Droid-ify it’s, a better F-Droid client
Adaway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file.
FYI you don’t need apps that pretend to be a VPN to block ads anymore, you can just go to
Settings > Network and Internet > Private DNSand set it to something likedns.adguard.comto block almost all ads, no install required!something like dns.adguard.com
What other options are there?
what about apps that detect adblockers, will this bypass them or do they just not let you view their content?
I’ve never seen an issue, so it either works or I don’t have any apps like that. Try it out, it’s pretty quick to check!
