I’m new to android. (Default android 13, not looking to install custom ROMs because I need this to be very functional and dont have time to deal with bugs).

Anyways, I’ve installed F-Droid, Helix Keyboard and my go to VPN app.

What next? What browser, third party YT player, torrent client, jellyfin client (I’m deaf so need one with opensubtitle integration), email clients, rss aggregator, note taking apps etc. should I install? I’m paralysed by choice.

Is there an equivalent to the ios shortcuts app?

Anyways, I’ll be happy to try out any suggestions. Cheers.

Why is fennec dead in the water?

[-] thebigslime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Sorry, I was mistaken. I thought development halted. That was Mull.

Ironfox repo is on their gitlab page (readme) : https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/

Fennec is dead in the water. Use IronFox.

On what basis do you say Fennec is dead in the water? Please elaborate further.
