There is Open Contacts which also acts as a dialer if you want it too. It creates its own database which could be useful if you don’t want other apps to have your contacts.

It works fine, I use that or Koler

They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.

They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.

Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.

Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.

Did you look in about:config ? Maybe the flag for Pocket is there but turned off.

I’m on mobile now otherwise I’d check

Hmm, I’ve never had an issue with it. Orbot itself sometimes has problems, but even that is becoming rare in my use.

Yes, Tor can be set to start on boot, and there is a run all traffic through Tor setting. I’m pretty sure I remember one time when Tor failed during a session and things still worked though. With RethinkDNS this does not happen tough. When Orbot loses connection, quits, whatever, RethinkDNS will still send it traffic (if configured to do so) but it will not leave the device because Orbot is not running.

Like I said, I really prefer RethinkDNS

I prefer the RethinkDNS firewall as it is more granular in what it can block. Say you have the Wikipedia app, you can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and still allow meta.wikimedia.org

InviziblePro can be setup to start on boot. DnsCrypt, Tor, and I2P can all be toggled individually in the settings.

I used it previously then switched to RethinkDNS.

I like the blocking abilities and the logging more with RethinkDNS. I never used I2P so that was moot for me.

With RethinkDNS I can pick the Hagezi blocklist and No Facebook, as an example, quite easily. I can also individually block domains and IPs. Dnscrypt doesn’t allow that much precision.

It also has features like allow/disallow only on WiFi or data, block apps not in use, block all apps when device is locked, plus a bunch more stuff.

It integrates with Orbot, but Orbot must also be installed.

Really I can’t say anything bad about InviziblePro, I prefer RethinkDNS, you might not though.

You can try Transportr, but their map only shows Dubai for the middle east

Do you mean ungoogled chromium? It has been abandoned for almost two years. Honestly, what are you talking about? You say brave, then you say ‘degoogled chromium’. They are nit the same, neither is a viable FOSS option currently.

Cromite is great, it’s still Chromium

RethinkDNS is fantastic, and actually FOSS

I know nothing about Shazam or podcasts.

I need less info.

It is not Chromium?

There is no crypto?

Brave, you mean Chromium with crypto?

Honest question. Are there any FOSS Android browsers? I use Mull or SmartCookieWebPreview. Even Mull gets the ‘the upstream code is not free’ on F-Droid.

Obviously Chromium is out, Webviews are just a wrapper for Chromium.

Does that leave anything?

Seems to work on Smart Cookie Web Preview via their ‘sideload xpi’ option
