Unfortunately proprietary and filled with Google trackers (Revanced is FOSS, but it uses the proprietary YouTube app)

Yeah, OPSEC is really important and over the years many people got caught because of bad OPSEC. PomPomPurin, the guy who ran BreachForums is a pretty good example of this: https://youtu.be/1fZWHeHICws

Yeah because we have an actual working legal system

Even if they do, it’s not that easy to shut down a Tor website. This usually only happens when someone runs a Darknet marketplace and sells drugs. Never heard of a onion site shutdown because of DMCA.

They already have an onion site: http://suyudev2qxj5x7mroamgwf4hqunz4pups27z2kl77x4ioqhh5yhpshad.onion/

Not that hard to find another way to host the website.

That’s why Suyu runs their own instance of @[email protected]

You can actually create custom DNS records in NextDNS

Private DNS (DoT) shouldn’t interfere with your VPN. It actually overrides the default DNS resolver set by the system or a VPN app.

I just use NextDNS with Android’s Private DNS feature for DNS filtering, works pretty well.

I do the same with the built-in GrapheneOS network permission toggle

No, not really. OctoDroid might be worth checking out though.

Or even better: GrapheneOS (hardened Android without bloated Google spyware and all the other crap)

Thanks!

FastHub-Libre is a little old, but still works perfectly

Check out GrapheneOS! It’s built from AOSP with some privacy and security improvements, no change in user experience though. It also removes all the bloated Google crap, as well as the spyware. It’s the only mobile OS I would use nowadays.

There are millions of systems still running windows 95 for hardware that can’t use anything newer (think CNC machines).

These are never connected to the internet though. Also, these aren’t personal devices that store sensitive information, they’re just used for one specific task (and without internet connection), which is fine.

I switched to Lawnchair a few years ago (IIRC 6 years ago) and it’s been a solid experience, I’m very happy with it.

Niagara Launcher if you want a very minimalistic experience. It’s not open-source, but there are other open-source, minimalistic options like mLauncher, Olauncher, Focus Launcher and Lunar Launcher. I have also seen people recommend Kvaesito. Lawnchair if you prefer a more traditional Android launcher.

What icon pack is that?

I would to this with any launcher, it doesn’t need internet access
