    I’m trying it. This was the kick in the ass I needed to finally go ahead and get F Droid. Anything else I should be getting from there? I’ve heard of some good apps through it but idk what a sorta “standard” user might be interested in.

      Firstly, check if certain apps you use from Google Play are on there too. Some, like Bitwarden, Wikipedia, or Jellyfin, are on fdroid too without Google’s bullshit. Some even have functionality on fdroid that they’re not allowed to have on the Play store.

      After that, the Fossify suite of simple apps are very basic, no bullshit, non-Google system apps. Gallery in particular is popular.

      If you like Sid Meiers Civilization, search for Unciv.

      NewPipe for ad-free YouTube.

      TrackerControl will let you block ads system wide. It’s kinda touchy and takes some finagling, though.
