Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting Mull
and Mulch
. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.
Here are some links to start from:
Mull
directly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/Mulch
only from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!I really liked the Bromite
browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite
release is from Dec 2022.
From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite
, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.
… and it even runs Doom: POOM - A Doom port running on the PICO-8

It is never too* late to learn and correct what we hold for true. I like the idea behind this website. Thanks for sharing.
*EDIT: learned & corrected to to too.
Several of the items hit the nail for me (German), too.
May Organic Maps Offline Hike, Bike, GPS Navigation be something for you? (found in https://feddit.de/post/3646471)
The German Feddit was down for quite a while, but if this counts for 200 servers I do not know.
Thank you very much for sharing 🙂
Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.
As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.
Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.
I would appreciate the SFD initiative even more, if on the SFD webpage you would “live by your own words”.
Facebook and the blue bird are by no means free software, also not according to your definitions “free to study [how the program works]”, “free to distribute [copies]”, “free to modify [the software]”, “free to access [the source code]”.
So why not at least show the benefits and use FOSS social media alternatives in action?
If you need the momentum of the unfree social media, you still could do this additionally.
Thank you very much for sharing, this page is really great!
Yes indeed. It would also work (at least similarly) for the VIC-20 and other Commodore computers 🧑🏫
Or … 99 has a more uncommon meaning for me 🤓
(in reality the hardware in question was brand new hottest stuff when I was young)
I know what you mean, but who are this “double click” and “exe” guys?

- Possibility of creating a personal blacklist
- Function of the search in the search
- Advertising-free search possible
- Integration of search engine projects like YaCy
- The only German search engine that combines results from several large web indexes
- And much more…

We always liked the Syberia series alot. Aside from all the Lucas Arts classics, we also (very) enjoyed playing the following 90/2000 (style) adventures:
Historic
Fantasy, fairy tales
SciFi
Same for me with uBlock Origin, until I have updated to version 1.51.0
