Thread to discuss webbrowsers, important utilities, and apps that we have forgotten about previously but cannot live without. In short , all apps you want to see on the final megathread.

Next week, I will open a thread to discuss some details and thoughts with the entire community to build the megathread.

Previsouly discussions

Discussion about Contacts, SMS and Dialers app is here.

Discussion about Calculators, Cameras and Calendars apps is here.

Discussion about Manager files, Recorders, Galleries and Video editors apps is here.

Discussion about Keyboards, Notes, Maps and Music Players apps is here

Discussion about Weather, Stores, social media and related stuff apps is here

Little context

spoiler

Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?

We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.

I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.

Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.

Browsers

Mull is my go to browser, based on Firefox with proprietary blobs removed and since its Firefox uBlock Origin can be installed

Mulch is chromium based for when websites ~ break ~ with Mull. Both are by the same Dev that makes DivestOS

Utilities

I'm not really sure what is meant by utilities but these are some apps that I utilise pretty much every day

URLCheck for easily removing tracking from URLs either manually or automatically

Bitwarden is my go to password manager, you can add their repo to your fdroid client to get auto updates

Aegis for 2FA with easy backup and restore to and from files and supports importing files from so many other 2FA clients

Insular utilises the work profile to separate out apps. Some people in my life still use WhatsApp so I have a whole profile just for it, I can't wait for the DMA to fully kick in so I can get rid of WhatsApp

Librera opens all of my documents for me and I can choose between scroller mode for PDF type stuff or reader mode for ebooks. It also has amoled black which I love.

QbitController to easily manage all of my qbittorrent instances. It also automatically opens magnet links I tap on so I can add them to one of my instances easily

RHVoice TTS that integrates with OSMand, I find I have better voice results with this compared to espeak

Syncthing Fork to auto sync folders on my phone, PC and NAS

Termux terminal emulator I use for SSH, it also runs Zotify and YT-DLP

KDE Connect for controlling my cursor on my PC, quickly sharing files to and from my PC and for seamlessly sharing clipboards between them

Forgotten Apps

Showly OSS Integrates with trakt(.)tv to keep track of shows and also has a discover tab for TV and movies

Unexpected Keyboard I missed the keyboard discussion so I'm going to mention it here. It supports function keys! So I can use htop in SSH to kill processes on my PC when I break something and my screen freezes
