May I suggest Tracker Control, allows per-app network access and even restricts certain tracking requests. Only downside is it takes the VPN slot. Very much worth it though I believe

Sounds like you need to check out Org-roam (if you use emacs) or some other zettelkasten style note taking software

With Australian banks there doesn’t seem to be any problems, if you don’t install gplay, you won’t get notifications though. However I think there were some issues with other countries’ banks, but there’s a list somewhere on the GrapheneOS forums/GitHub for all tested banks.

It really does, but unfortunately they simply have the most secure hardware of android phones. At least you’re just paying for the hardware, but don’t have to continue paying with your privacy (or pack of) if you get Graphene

There’s only one phone that runs GrapheneOS so that’s the one I get. If you’re looking at stock phones, apple is the best for privacy and security, but if you really care about those two things you’re probably not just looking at them stock

Depends on when the app pulls from OSM. Organic Maps and OSMAnd are monthlyz, if you have OSMAnd plus or are a contributor to OSM it’s hourly I think

OsmAnd was specifically designed for offline use, downloads the maps and runs the routing all offline. Can do both online as well but by default after download it’s all offline

I has problems with that too but I reckon it was fixed a few weeks ago, rerouting is basically instant from what I can tell, but maybe I configured it to be a bit better in the settings and forgot… Also try organic maps of you want another alternative

Used to use Niagara launcher, but moved to kvaesitso since it’s FOSS. Both are very very good.

Maybe check outCromite, a bromite fork that’s updated still.

I use mull for regular browsing, but anything important, and by default, I use Vanadium (grapheneos only). At least until firefox gets site isolation on mobile

Time to start de-googling?

Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great… is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?

Yeah its just reskinned chromium like the rest, but it’still nowhere near as bad as chrome, edge and the other telemetry filled ones.

Support Firefox!
