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

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.

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.

I second this. I discovered it a few weeks back, and it’s impressive and fast.
