New To Android? What Apps to Choose? - Blåhaj Lemmy

I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs). Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app. What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration) etc should I install? I’m paralysed by choice. Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out suggestions.

I’d say Firefox for your browser. It supports extensions like ad blockers.

I use librewolf on my computer. I’m assuming librewolf doesn’t have an android version so firefox sounds pretty good.

Firefox isn’t on f-droid, but Fennec and Ironfox are

Also Firefox TOS current controversy

Sorry, I was mistaken. I thought development halted. That was Mull.

Fennec is dead in the water. Use IronFox.

On what basis do you say Fennec is dead in the water? Please elaborate further.
