    I use Mull, NewPipe and UntrackMe. What I want to stress here is that UntrackMe is an amazing application that more people should use regularly. UntrackMe redirects one to a more privacy-respecting sites. That is great and all, but what I find the most important of the features is that (and you can set your phone to always use UntrackMe, that is, open its context menu) when you click on any random link anywhere (or share it to UntrackMe), you will get a context menu allowing you to select which application to use to open that link, and, most importantly, it will show you the link itself.

    You can (and should) verify that the link points to the website you expect, not a scam / fake one. I find this amazingly useful. I know that I can click on anything and always open this UntrackMe context menu to verify, that it leads where I expect it to.

      Likewise, UntrackMe is the single most underrated app out there, despite being so incredibly useful and I use it all the time. I only hope they add more redirect services or at least custom ones (e.g. the ones on this browser extension that I also use https://libredirect.github.io/)

        I agree that I, too, would make use of such improvements. Maybe the future will pleasantly surprise us :) Similar kind of support that LibRedirect has would be great.
