      Weirdly enough, I appreciate the fact you listed them in the alphabetical order.

        😂😂😂 I simply took a look at the apps installed from fdroid and chose a few and, obviously, they were in alphabetical order

    Congrats! It’s great software. OsmAnd~, Unexpected Keyboard, OpenLauncher, Arcticons Dark, UntrackMe, and Mull are a few of my favorites. Aurora Store also, but I try not to use it unless I absoutely need to (I don’t have sandboxed Google services/Play installed)

    Edit: OpenLauncher might be a bit out of date. Will switch to Discreet Launcher for now, but the dev has stopped adding features and will only release bugfixes and Android compatibility updates moving forward

        Oh good point, thanks for the heads up. I see that the last release was a few years ago and there are a lot of open issues. I haven’t had too many problems with it, but a launcher is something you don’t want to have security vulnerabilities for. Will look around for an alternative

            Kvaesitso is pretty slick! I just tried it for a bit, and it looks well-written. I like having all my icons shrunk down and compressed on my desktop, so it’s not quite what I’m looking for, but I tried Discreet Launcher after your comment and was able to configure it pretty well to my liking. Still missing some features that I like from OpenLauncher but it has what I need

                Nice :). It’s pretty basic but has just enough configuration options for what I need. It’s basically just an app drawer and favorites drawer, but you can set the favorites drawer to never close and the app drawer to never open.

                The UI tools are pretty limited and I had to play around with a screenshot in GIMP and re-arrange the exported settings file in order to get my favorites ordered as desired (possible without doing that, but slow). But since setting it up everything has been pretty smooth

                  Yeah I would definitely agree that’s it’s basic. It’s very neat though, very minimal and clean. I’m glad it’s working good for you!

        I’m happy with it so far! No swipe typing, and it’s pretty difficult to land on the right key, but I’ve found that I’m getting better at using it with time, especially after customizing it to my liking

    Go with Neo Store rather than the F-Droid app; it has a better GUI, supports adding other FOSS app repos like IzzyOnDroid, and does a pretty good job keeping apps up to date actually

      I’ve set my DNS as mullvad dns and I use Ublock Origin on Mull, it should do the trick. Thanks for the tip
