YouTube recommended me this hour plus video called Every Free App You Need Explained. It’s a really long video. I let it run in the background while I clowned around on Reddit with my iPad.

Apps I’ve never used:

It also renewed my interest in Local Send and Sync Thing. Apps which I know of but never got around to using. Proton VPN and Proton Pass is at the forefront of my mind now too as I like to support privacy conscious companies when I can.

That is a question!

Probably naïve, but have trusted F-Droid for the 4 or 5 apps i’ve installed.

Is it possible to sandbox an Android app?
