  • KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
  • Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
  • Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
  • AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
  • Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
  • Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
  • Save To...: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don't give the option to save.
  • Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider's restrictions on hotspot.

I've stopped using Mull because always seems to have issue on my phone + it only gets update once a month if you are lucky.

Try Tubular instead of newpipe There are more functions like sponsorblock

Nothing wrong with Firefox, it's my main browser

On Android, Mull offers more extensions, unless that's changed recently

I did use F-Droid, now I use Obtanium. I use Mull Browser as well, but I really like Fulguris Browser better
