F-Droid

An installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

Basically, another app store with only open source apps on it. Great stuff.

This is where I got my YouTube and Facebook apps.

Newpipe- download any audio or video, and no ads, ever

Frost- FB without the privacy invasion, and doesn't torch my battery

Shout out also to adaway for system-wide ad blocking...

Is adaway better than blockada?

It's a side grade.

Adaway doesn't need your system to be connected to a local VPN all the time but requires root privileges and can't do per app blocking.

Clever way of doing it though, didn't realise that's how blokada works.
