    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.

      Seconding Fossify Gallery, IIRC it’s a fork of the superb Simple Gallery, prior to it being sold to some dodgy data gathering company. It’s great.

      To be fair, there are also some features that also rely on Google’s builds. For example, Bitwarden’s “Log in with Device” only works on the Google Play version.

      What sort of finagling are we talking? Also, I’ve been using AdAway for the past few weeks with mixed results. Could these tools be used in tandem or is that just silly?
