I'm trying out Brave on mobile and so far I like it. There's no fast scroll though which is gay and unrealistic.
Presiona para expandir...

I'm trying it on Desktop and it's good but I just had an issue where two tabs froze and I wasn't able to close them. I was still able to open new tabs which is weird.
 
As far as Android, here's my endorsements *COUGH* SHILLING *COUGH*

Microsoft Launcher
​

Probably the closest thing to a Windows Mobile experience you remembered before Windows Phone... But only better. This is actually kicking the ass of the most popular, more customization heavy launchers (Nova included). Included is a page dedicated to all your widgets, feeds, and productivity tools as to keep your main desktop clean, in fact it goes to say that the main desktop may as well just be an app drawer considering who useful the feed page is.

Evie Launcher​

If you don't care about a bunch of utilities but want something as vanilla as stock but with better search integration (something Google sucks at now that Google Now is left to rot), this is one beautifully simple launcher that gives you multiple search engine options literally a pull away. Including DuckDuckGo.

MusicBee is a great music player for people who are too dumb or lazy to use foobar2000 (like me (:_(). It has a lot of great plugins, is very customizable, but not confusingly so, and it has auto-tagging. It's pretty neat.

Launchy is a command line for people who don't like command lines. You press a hotkey and it opens up the menu, from which you can start typing in the name of the program, website, or file and it quickly finds it. You can also set-up your own keywords to certain things like "browser" to Chrome, or "autismland" to this website.

Lightshot is pretty simple: you press print screen, and you can take a screenshot of any part of the screen. You can also save it to your clipboard, so you don't clutter up your desktop. It also has a build-in editor if you want to highlight something and image searching.

That's all I can think of right now :)
 
I prefer Gemini as a bank to wallet exchange. It seems like it's as secure as Coinbase and a little bit less prone to freezing your account. I could just be falling for their marketing but if nothing else, it allows you to start trading immediately rather than holding your funds. As always though it's better to use those exchanges just for bank transactions and moving your BTC/ETH to your own wallet.
 
For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have no net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a daemon which runs wget and mails the page back to me. It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.
 
If you want to be autistic on Android there's F-Droid

My caution for most FOSS that isn't backed by a corporation is that it's generally buggy garbage so I hope you are either willing to contribute code to fix it or get something with an active development cycle. That doesn't stop me from using Krita on desktop even though it makes me.mad every time it crashes. I'll probably switch to a Linux distro once I get a new motherboard with that GPU passthrough meme.
 
As Desire Lines mentioned, MusicBee is great. MediaMonkey is slow and bloated, and honestly MusicBee has the better UI.

For VPN, I use Windscribe, a newer and growing service. I have had lifetime access and who knows how long the company would last, but I've already gotten my money's worth. Decent Chrome addon and client. They're legit though, they are active and responsive on reddit and they check most of the boxes (no logs, etc). Canada based, though, but still--no logs, good speeds, I can browse this website in peace.
 
I use DDG and Brave on mobile, but mostly use DDG to call google with the bang syntax. Shit's too convenient.

To actually add to the thread, I use Phonograph as my mobile music player on Android. It handles pretty much any file you can throw at it, it's free and has no ads.

Also shoutout to media.Rescan, which basically tells Android to rescan the media files and makes downloading music directly on your phone actually work.
 
I sometimes use Ecosia for a search engine, because every search plants a tree and I'm an ecofag. Their privacy policy is good, they don't shill out your info to advertisers.

As for VPN, since I'm a poor college student I use ZenMate. It used to be better, but it still works fine. It's one of the only good free VPNs.

I've also heard about ghostery, but I've never used it. Anyone here use it?
