Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.
What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?
What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?
Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?
I can recommend https://f-droid.org/packages/wangdaye.com.geometricweather/ for weather. Otherwise, I dont really use stuff from fdroid.
I’ve heard good stuff about the “fenneck” (?) browser, it’s like android firefox but good.
Breezy Weather is an updated fork of Geometric Weather.
Oh, nice! Didn’t know about that. I’ll use that from now on!
Fennec, it’s a type of fox in the real world, and it’s a perfectly fine fork of Firefox.
And Firefox for android is great, leaps and bounds better than the Chromes and Chromiums that many people use. Firefox for android allows you to install browser extensions!
I never have to leave home without my µBlock Origin again.
Another recommendation for this app weather app with great widgets. I’ve been using it for years.
I have and like it but it hasnt been updated for over a year. So the breezy weather recommendation is good.
