Minimalism is better.
Most important software choices:
Browser: Firefox or it's forks (install uBlock Origin for blocking ads, trackers, annoyances...)
F-Droid Client: F-Droid Basic or Droid-ify
Then if you need something just search on F-Droid it's repository is really good.
When you search on F-Droid maybe you'll find 10 alternative you can eliminate the unactive apps and you can look their source code repository to see how active they are and you will find ~3 application just choose one and if you don't like you can change easily just don't overthink.
If you have some other question/help Lemmy is a good place for that.

I'd disagree on Firefox. It's just so much slower than Chromium on Android, and burns more power.
Of course don't use Google Chrome, but look into forks like Cromite.
My experience with Firefox on Android is very different from yours. I also recommend Firefox with uBlock
I don't know performance issues is gone for me (147.0.3)
btw Fennec and Ironfox is much slower than Firefox for Android
maybe you can give a second chance :)
