Voila ! you have blocked ads without wasting your VPN slot.
As an added bonus you can also configure nextdns to block your specific phone vendor tracking as well.
If you are interested in trying different web browsers you can check out Fennec from F-droid or Brave browser. These are my go-to browsers on android.
I know 2 apps
Milktea seemed to work for me when I tried it when Firefish was still called calckey.social. kaiteki app just gave me a blank screen, so can’t comment on that.
Anyway, I just use the web app if I use firefish.
Kotatsu is a good one, people often don’t recommend kotatsu. Maybe that’s because tachiyomi offers more features.
I use nextdns in ‘private dns’ options on my android phone to block ads. This give me the option to use VPN, which I wouldn’t get if i use DNS66 or Adaway.
On my old phone i used Florisboard, it was pretty good and it’s FOSS as well.
These days I use the samsung keyboard as I recently switched to a samsung device. The keyboard customizations are really awesome, if you have KeysCafe module installed. Not sure how privacy friendly it is tho.
I’m not an iOS user, but I have seen something like revanced which can be sideloaded.
The app was called uYou+ or something, i don’t reacall the actual name.
You can go to their official website and download it - https://f-droid.org/
Personally I prefer to use fdroid through Droid-ify.
I wish Graphene also supported other devices apart from Pixels.
I used tumbleweed for about an year with no problems. The installer was a bit different and not much user friendly but it had a lot of options that i wanted.
I don’t know how it was 5 years ago, but these days I think it’s doing pretty good. I’d consider it over fedora if I need a rolling release distro.
I’m using an app called ‘Liftoff for lemmy’. It has been good so far. I’m not sure if it has all the features found in infinity tho.
The fresh feeling of a reinstall lasts for about a week.
I used to suggest linux to my friends and family but i stopped doing that as i found none of them actually cared what OS they ran. They also have a misunderstanding that Linux is very complex and difficult to use.
I think maybe OP doesn’t like kiwi’s UI/UX
