Brave is great for less techy people because it's defaults are good enough. It's not necessary to tweak settings and install add-ons to get basic privacy. I definitely prefer Firefox, but it takes some knowledge to get it to surpass Brave's defaults.

Liftoff for now. It's the least buggy Android client I have come across. I definitely prefer Memmy on iOS though.
They are not ready for regular use yet. Performance is poor and battery life is bad. It's fun to play with my Pinephone and watch the software slowly improve, but there is no way I could use it as my primary phone.
Apple Music because it doesn’t shove podcasts down my throat. I also prefer the algorithm on Apple Music over Spotify. Spotify is too safe by only recommending music that I already like, while I have discovered new genres that I now love from using Apple Music. Spotify is just too repetitive in my experience. I do miss the Discover Weekly playlist though. That was the one thing that helped me discover new music on Spotify.
I hope they bring the Fairphone 5 to the US in a reasonable amount of time, because the 4 is just too old for the price being charged.
Verizon caught on and closed that loophole, so we will have to see whether T-Mobile does as well. Plus you still have to give your bank or debit information to a company that suffers from data breaches far too often. There is better fraud protection with credit cards.
At the very least, I recommend not linking your primary bank account.

Audiobookshelf works great and is very easy to setup using Docker. I get most of my audiobooks through Downpour. They have a subscription that gives credits to redeem for audiobooks similar to Audible, but they are drm-free. I download the audiobooks and move them to my NAS that has Audiobookshelf running on it. Audiobookshelf has a web client and apps for Android and iOS (TestFlight beta).

I would recommend a catch-all card that earns 2% cash back on everything like the Wells Fargo Active Cash or FNBO Evergreen. They are both Visa cards as well.
While I’ve only dealt with Discover support for a couple of minor issues, it definitely left a positive impression. There was no automated system I had to fight against and a native English speaker answered right away. They were also knowledgeable and not just reading from a script. Definitely among the better customer service experiences I have had.
