Yes, 6 trackers. I know. I can accept that as long as I run Blokada. Did not find any other smooth working alternative so far.

I hope they make the stable version of Vivaldi - the one that came out a few days ago - available on the e store soon. I also like what they are doing.
Can you make photo collages with it?
This is the hardest choice for us all I have the impression. Havenāt made my choice between Telegram and Wire yet. Iām worried about allowing them to access my contacts. Open contacts @kalman why not. Like @marcdw, I wait and see. like Telegram on Desktop pc but when I launched it on my phone it requested my phone number and havenāt made the step yet.

List is always still evolving, but will never include any apps with google/facebook/amazon trackers.

Hello. As far as Vivaldi, the aurora app store should be current. Pocket Paint, no collages yet. Yes the messaging apps, most have their plus and minus. If you are interested, Session looks promising, no F-Droid version yet. Two others worth a look are Briar and Silence, both on F-Droid.

Webmail, or when using Linux configure your client yourself using a MUA: http://www.mutt.org/
If still using Windows for professional or study reasons (I have one Win10 laptop too) use only webmail and have your browser set to never remember passwords and logins.
I dont see any text editors passing by.
Tried markor but i found it to advanced. I just want a plain text editor.
Letās add some more:
- Various simplemobiletools apps like Notes, Cam, Gallery
- PilferShush Jammer - it blocks the microphone
- Net Monitor (by Secuso) - shows which app is making what connections
- Olvid - secure messenger (warning: closed source)
- Mac Address Ghost - changing the device MAC address
- Ovo - simple timer
- Checkey - checking app signatures

i would add Syncthing resp. the Syncthink-Fork android app because it provides a kind of data/device synchronization, which is IMHO much more consequent and privacy friendly than any cloud based solution, including /e/-cloud.

Recently, I found a decent easy-to-use video editor. It is called Joyoshare Video Cutter, which helps me to cut and split any audio & video file without re-encoding, as well as has the ability to merge, convert, crop, rotate, watermark in text and image, subtitle, add visual and sound effects, insert background music, etc. I got it for free due to its just concluded promotion. How so lucky I am.
Incredible os. Iām new, and Iām loving it. Almost everything works very well in my Fairphone 2.
I like /e/ File Manager, Gallery app, Music player, Video player, Mail app, App Store, Weather app, Calendar app, Camera and Note app. Butā¦
Browser: Firefox.
App Store: F-droid and Aurora, too.
Keyboard: Anysoft.
Something else: KDE Connect (I have Ubuntu desktop, and this is a "magic "appā¦), NewPipe, VLC, Telegram FOSS and Collabora Office.

Does nobody use foobar2000 as music player? If your library is folder based itās a must. VLC is also not bad.
RpnCalc whenever you need a professional calculator and you have grown up with a HP15C.
TotalCommander as file manager.
Brave as browser.
Ah, and primitive ftpd for file exchange.
I have discovered /e/ Browser can import-export bookmarks, and now is my default browser. Really very good.
