Termux cos the Google Play version is depreciated since Android 10.

Droid-ify it's, a better F-Droid client
Did you try Neo Store?
Neo feel more complicated for me, so I stick with Droid-ify
I used Droid-ify before, it doesn't support one-click install for all apps while Neo Store can.
Adaway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file.
FYI you don't need apps that pretend to be a VPN to block ads anymore, you can just go to Settings > Network and Internet > Private DNS and set it to something like dns.adguard.com to block almost all ads, no install required!
is it better than blokada?
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
There's also a similiar alternative to Seal called YTDLnis.
Love Vimusic! For people that don't like the interface, there's also Innertune which works very similarly to Vimusic. Haven't needed Spotify since 😁
TrackerControl full version
TrackerControl is an Android app that allows users to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour (‘tracking’).
Not that it's only on Fdroid, but DAVx5 is free on Fdroid and $10 on Play.
I always looked at this form of app monetization as "You are tech savvy enough to know the risks of trusting a 3rd party app store therefore we will not charge you" type of tax haha
Native Alpha.
Save web apps, into one application, with extra privacy settings (like javascript blocking)

For those that use the Signal messenger, Langis is just Signal without Google Play services.
Session is Signal with no phone number required.
Netguard. There is a Google Play version, but it cannot do system-wide adblocking.
Do you mean to block system apps' internet access?
Settings ->Advanced options ->Toggle "Manage system apps"
Kvaesitso, a really great and elegant launcher for Android.
MinCal Widget nice tiny calendar widget
Seal, handsome video downloader
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.
