I’m kind of new to android. F-droid is kind of hard to navigate. some apps doesn’t load their thumbnails and some doesn’t even have them at all. It’s hard to decide which ones are good other than how recent It’s updated.
What I need atm:
- Music player
- Writing / Note taking
- Diary app
- VPN?
- Maps
- Messenger app
- Social media / Fediverse frontends (if it exists)
- Peertube client (to upload and manage videos)
- Reminders / To do list app
You can recommend me any android apps that might be useful.
“The upstream source code is not entirely Free” What does this mean?
mull is a fork of fennec, which is a fork of android firefox which is not entirely foss, and includes some telemetry and tracking. fennec removes proprietary parts and telemetry from firefox, but is able to connent to some servers of mozilla and google, which can track users. it’s not hardened either. then mull comes and forks fennec, and adds features from Tor uplift and arkenfox-user.js preferences. but since the upstream code comes from firefox for android, it has this anti-feature. if I understand it correctly, mull is the best android browser for now.
This actually explains a lot to me. Thank you. I have switched to Mull recently and so far so good. There have been some worries about broking a few websites because of all the hardening, but as it seems for my usage, there are no problems whatsoever. I must agree with you. Mull is the best browser for Android I have been able to find so far.

You can see all the changes made in the build scripts repo (which at a glance looks like it’s mostly based on F-Droid Fennec’s build scripts) mainly prebuild.sh and the *-liberate.patch
