    I have been using Phone app from Google mainly because it has a spam detection and blocker feature are you telling me that I can replace it with Yet another call blocker or how exactly would I make it work?

    Yes you can!

    As you can see, in newer android versions the spam filter app for calls it's separate from the phone app.

    Try using Yet another call blockee + simple dialer (I recommend the entire simple mobile suite actually). If you're not satisfied you can always go back (contacts are stored in your SIM or on your phone, deleting or changing the dialer app does not make your contacts disappear)

    Blokada is a VPN based adblocker, but Adaway can work as a hosts file based blocker, if the phone is rooted. Hosts file based blocking uses zero cpu cycles, as it's a feature of the network stack, it's just a file containing list of addresses to redirect, so it should use less battery than blokada. By default on all OSes this hosts file is not editable by regular users, that's why you need root. Wikipedia article about hosts file

    I use an app called Seal. You could think of it as a fronted for youtubedl. The interface is really beautiful and you can download videos from many different websites.

    Another one is ViMusic, this is just an app that streams songs from YouTube music without any ads. edit: fixed spelling of vimusic

    Netguard. There is a Google Play version, but it cannot do system-wide adblocking.

    Not sure if it's only on F-droid, but I've switched from G-board to Open-board. It's a virtual keyboard app that has many "extra" features compared to Simple board. There's autocorrect, swipe to complete, and a clipboard visualizer. I'm trying to figure out if I can add entries to the dictionary so it suggests some words I use often instead of others tho.
