I would love to know what other people consider essential apps. What are some cool apps that not many people are using?

    • Vinegar - Replaces Youtube video player with custom HTML video (no ads)
    • Baking Soda - Does the same job as Vinegar with all websites except Youtube (developed by the same person)
    • Super Agent for Safari - Automatic cookie consent
    • Hush - Blocks cookies and privacy invasive tracking
    • Keyword Search - Setting up keywords to search on Safari (eg. you type mc super mario = it goes on metacritic.com and search for Super Mario)
    • Banish - Blocks ‘open in app’ popups
    • Pennies - Tracking your expenses
    • Stock Events - Stocks / Dividends tracker
    • AutoPilot - Check expert trader’s portfolios
    • SongShift - Transfer music / playlists between apps (Apple Music, Spotify, YT Music etc)
    • TVtime - Track movies and TV shows

      you pay so much just to block a bunch of ads. You could achieve the same for free with a Raspberry Pi in your home and PiHole.

      In the end it doesn’t matter, the result is the same

        • Vinegar and Baking Soda - €3 bundle (one time fee)
        • SuperAgent - Free (Now I’m using Consent-O-Matic which is also free)
        • Hush - Free
        • Keyword Search - Free
        • Banish - €3 (one time fee)
        • AdGuard - Free

        So I paid around €6 to block ads, cookies, pop-ups, and make my browsing experience more private. I doubt you even read my post and checked the apps I mentioned. But good for you that you are using Raspberry Pi.

          Apologies, indeed, I didn’t go through all the apps, just quickly skimmed them.

          6€ is a reasonable price to pay in that case 🙌
