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

spoilerWhy 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.

Cromite has been my main browser, with zero trackers, according to Exodus, and has a sandbox incorporated.

Audile has been my Shazam, and I use RethinkDNS to block some apps. It also has more features.

AntennaPod is amazing for listening to podcasts.

I like AntennaPod but wish it would play Podcasts in Sequential Order. It's a highly requested feature but the Dev does not want to implement it. The Smart Queue is anything but.

The general inability to manually order Podcasts and playlists is the only real serious drawback to the app.

Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic. I'm not a FOSS purist, and it's still my primary podcast app. Just hoping one day to get that feature.
