Just wondering what everyone uses. Currently some of the apps I use are proton apps, openboard fork with futo voice, grayjay, notesnook, signal. I have more but wanna hear your apps! Creating Lemmy content!
I moved all my FOSS apps to a separate tab on my phone to watch my collection grow lol
Privacy specifically:
- Firefox browsers (with Brave as backup, although I think on mobile Brave is better for privacy until Firefox upgrades something?)
- URLCheck to deal with trackers in links, which is probably the biggest threat to privacy that we don’t think about enough
- Shelter - to quarantine away apps I need but don’t trust
Although technically all my FOSS apps are good for privacy (ex. organic maps, antennapod, feeder, simple gallery + rest of those, signal, mullvad vpn). I’ll need time to list those though
Same lots of good stuff. Iv been using brave over Firefox so I can use in browser secure DNS with quad9, Meanwhile I been using adguard DNS on androids private DNS.
on mobile Brave is better for privacy
Better than default Firefox, though something like Mull is on par, if not better in some areas.
Where Chromium browsers on Android still have the edge though is security. Process/tab/site isolation, stuff like that.
You should try chromite (an updated fork of bromite)
Great browser, though having proper uBlock Origin is something I just value a lot more.
And not wanting to be a part of the Chromium monopoly out of principle.
If you take a look at their list of features, you might grudgingly be willing to go without uBlock. It uses Adblock plus, and it allows you to Define your own custom block lists. I agree uBlock Origin is probably the better tool though.
I second this. I discovered it a few weeks back, and it’s impressive and fast.
- NewPipe SponsorBlock for YouTube
- DecSync CC for contacts and calendar syncing
- URLCheck
- Firefox
- AnySoftKeyboard
- OSMAnd~ for maps
- Markor for notes
https://rethinkdns.com/ android app with firewall and logs, or configurable to use as a standalone blocklist
I use a some of Nextcloud App like Notes, News and also I try jtx instead of Tasks.
And OsmAnd, Jerboa, Signal, Schildichat (= Element.io), eOs.
- Torrents CSV an app to search for torrents built by Dessalines (the creator of Lemmy)
- Libretorrent an app to download torrents.
Privacy, not piracy.
Nice I’ll definitely have to check out Torrents CVS currently using Unchained and Torrent Search Revolution
