This is Part 2 of an ongoing series detailing my experience dumbing down my phone, taking ownership of my data, and learning a lot about FOSS along...

If you like F-Droid, try F-Droid Basic. It receives early updates and is also official.

Good to know, I wasn't aware of that!

Even after more than four  years of using GrapheneOS a new user article can surprise me with apps I missed.

I had the original Swype keyboard on my Pixel 4, but my new Pixel Fold would not let me install it. I didn't like any of the alternatives I tried,  and reluctantly used GBoard, but, even though Jordan Spencer didn't like it,  I discovered I did like the AnySoftKeyboard. So thanks for the reference.

Though I am using the IceRaven browser,  the article has gotten me thinking of looking at the Mull browser a little closer.

I have been using Duck Duck Go browser for search and quick article reads, Vanadium for anything I want to log into or keep session cookies, and IceRaven for longer reads or Read Aloud.
