These two are now the first apps I install on any new device:

Kiss launcher (simple and fast)
Articons icon pack

Basically, my approach is to (mostly) prioritize text over icons, and reduce the colors I need to process.

Other apps:

Brave browser (for YouTube and built-in anti-tracking features.)
Librera (ebook/PDF reader with lots of features)
Odyssey (local music player optimized for speed. My library is so large that all the other players were having trouble finding songs.)
Graph 89 (TI graphing calculator emulator)
Feeder (RSS feed aggregator)

Brave has always felt sketchy to me with all the built-in crypto junk.

Yeah that stuff is a bit obnoxious, but once you get browsing it doesn't come up, at least for me. Well worth it for no YouTube ads and making tracking more difficult.

Have you tried Firefox with uBlock Origin?

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

I'll look into it. I initially thought that SponsorBlock was only available on Chromium-based browsers and that uBlock wasn't available on mobile, but apparently I'm wrong.
