    There’s so many I could list, I’ll just mention 2 underrated ones I don’t see mentioned as much:

    • LibreTube - Best YouTube client imo, has a very nice and modern interface, proxies videos through Piped for maximum privacy (No direct connections to Google are made), No ads/tracking, SponsorBlock + Return YouTube Dislikes, support for downloading videos, etc. It’s everything I’d want and more out of a YouTube client.

    • URLCheck - Excellent app that allows you to preview what a URL is before you click it, includes tons of features such as scanning for malware, removing any tracking parameters, upgrading links from HTTP to HTTPS, etc. I can’t recommend this app enough for the security, privacy, and general peace of mind it gives you.

      URLCheck is extremely underrated!

      It also prevents other apps from knowing what app the URL originated from (by acting as a proxy), and lets you customize the activity flags too
