Ah. Didn’t know that. But they really limited functionality. I’ll give this a try to see if that’s all I need. Will continue to support my Add-on otherwise.


I already have a few that I developed and use all the time. It’s just difficult to get them set up currently.

For example I’ve developed a small Add-on which makes Android Firefox open PDF directly, just like the desktop browser does.


Nothing supports kbin as they (so far) do not have any official API to use.




I would love to use one, but to be honest, I have not found one that I trust, so far.

The perfect “password manager” would require 2FA, has some kind of “online backup” (cloud) that I can host myself and has to be open source. So far nothing really seems to offer all this.


If the game does not need online features, then you can make any game “ad free” with an app like “NetGuard”. Just block the app from accessing the internet.


I think this would make working with the text incredibly difficult. Do you know about “privacy foils”? They limit the viewing angle and make it more difficult for other people to read your screen.

Lawnchair. But get it from GitHub or F-Droid.


It is new to Pixel. Unfortunately only a few (mostly expensive) phones have display support on the USB C port. For example the more expensive Samsung phones have it.

I used to use this feature a lot on my Samsung S5. Was super handy to just carry the adapter cable in my suitcase when staying at a hotel. Easy way to watch streams in my hotel room. Almost any TV in hotels has a free HDMI port to connect to.


If it is open source, then I’ll test it for sure.


I use a firewall app. Netguard in my case. And apps which clearly should not need internet access are blocked there. Usually makes a lot of apps ad free as they fail to download ads.


And now they just have to force manufacturers to either at least security patch devices for, let’s say 10 years, or force them to open source everything the community needs to continue supporting this device. It never happened to me that the battery died before support ended.

Just had that issue with my Pixel 3a XL. No more security updates. Had to replace it with a Pixel 6a but I liked the 3a XL more. It there was any community support for the 3a XL, I would rather sell my 6a again.


I second this, too. I always prefer Open Source apps.


Native Bluetooth GPS support. I do mapping for OpenStreetMap a lot and the built in GPS modules are just too bad for that. Currently I have to use an app to get my Bluetooth GPS connected. But sometimes this app fails and the built in GPS takes over and ruins my logs.
