Hello everyone!
Recently, I saw so many posts about this and I started to think about degoogling (degoogleing?) my life.
I’ve started with fdroid and found some nice apps in there and I’m curious to know some alternatives I may or may not know
- Youtube: Currently, I use ReVanced and even though is just the default app with something in it, I want an alternative with background listening, import my subscriptions w/ notifications and if possible with sponsorblock
- Mail: Using a combo or Gmail + proton. I started to use proton recently and I want to move everything there when I have time. Suggestions here?
- Cloud storage: Self hosted/proton? Alternatives
- Gallery app: Stock
- Video player: Stock
- Music player: Stock
- 2FA app: I have Authy and I tried to install aegis. I also have Ente but I’ve never used both
- Mail app: Using K9 and the app is awesome compared to google or Samsung Mail
- Password Manager: Bitwarden
- Weather app: Currently, using Breezy weather
If possible, apps with a nice looking UI, modern with/without Material You
I’m using a Samsung S23 and I would like to know how bad it is to change ROM with something better and if it’s really worth Pixel + GrapheneOS. Thanks
Edit: I forgot the most important one with probably no alternatives (?) Thanks to @JustMarkov@lemmy.ml (idk how to mention)
- Samsung pay
The problem is youtube… LibreTube is great but it doesn’t shows up to date subs videos, the official shows some videos and other instances shows others
Since them it was working really good, know since 2-3 weeks it’s kind of a no-go
NewPipe works great, probably because it uses YouTube backend 🤔 I liked LibreTube for the ui though
NewPipe is fetching content directly from YouTube, Libretube use Piped to do this, this is why they added the option to fetch everything directly from YouTube. But the subscriptions are not refreshing correctly. All this is the fault of YouTube they block everyday new stuff, streaming on Tor is more difficult … Sadly this is the world that we live in
