Greetings
You say there's no good Firefox browser for Android, but I strongly recommend you consider Mull. It's pretty much Firefox w/ Arkenfox but for mobile and it works exactly as it should. For Mull you should add the DivestOS repository to F-Droid because the F-Droid one is outdated.
I like Fossify's apps for phone and contacts. As for photo gallery, I really like Aves Libre, paired with Image Toolbox and Open Video Editor for light edits.
I don't use an RSS aggregator myself, but Feeder tends to be rated well.
Thanks but Mull has no pc version.
The PC equivalent would simply be using Arkenfox with Firefox. If you want a similar out-of-the-box experience without having to tamper with it too much, Librewolf is also pretty good. There aren't any real downsides to them not being the same, fundamentally they're pretty similar and it shouldn't impact one's workflow across the platforms.
What? Mullvad browser. https://mullvad.net/en/browser
It's great, I used it before LibreWolf.
Sorry to spoil the party, but Mull browser and Mullvad browser are two different beasts. Mull browser is for Android by the DivestOS person, and Mullvad browser is based on Tor browser by the Swedish Mullvad VPN company.
Thank you. No clue how that one slipped through the fortifications. (There are gaps. Many gaps.)
