Is there a feature you've recently discovered in an app available on F-Droid that might not be obvious to casual users of the app? This is your chance to share it!

Is there an web browser on FDroid? Like a Firefox fork but where you don't have to use Aurora Store?

Ironfox, but I think you need to use a custom repo or use Obtainium

Droid-ify has the IronFox repo built in as an option.

WebLibre is another option in the main F-Droid repo

Obtainium is peak!

Or just it directly from their GitLab.

I have a degoogled phone which apparently can't run firefox because of the lack of google play services. At least, I think that's what's going on (WTF, Mozilla). But Fennec is a great replacement. It feels just like firefox. I forget if it was default or not, but obviously ive got the ublock extension. I've noticed some webpages crash more often on Fennec, but maybe that's just because I'm looking for differences and getting confirmation bias.
