  • IDE and Terminal

    Neovim is an program that runs in a terminal. You can use it to edit text files and through plugins it can become a fully fledged IDE. The site you linked actually tells you to install Neovim as a package in Termux.

    To be clear: Neovim is not a Terminal Emulator. It is not even an Android App. It runs on Android in Termux (and probably other apps), but not on its own.

    Termux is afaik the best Terminal Emulator for Android, it includes a package manager with a lot of Linux CLI utilities (like Neovim) available.

    For Java there is an apparently fully Fledged IDE available in F-Droid. For Python I’d suggest installing python in Termux and developing and running python scripts from there.

    Torrent

    I use Torrent Client. It works, but it hasn’t been updated in 2 years and I don’t know how secure it is. I mostly Torrent on my Linux Desktop PC.

    E-Book Reader

    I use KOReader which is more optimized for E-Readers, but it has a very clean UI and works great for me. It is also actively developed.
















  • if you want a good Firefox based Browser for Mobile, try Mull

    If you go to Settings->About Mull and click on the big Mull text at the top a few times, you enable the Debug Menu temporarily. Then you can add a custom add-on collection which allows you to install most addons. I for example have uBlock, “i still don’t care about cookies”, Stylus, “Dark Background and Light Text”, ClearURLs and CookieAutoDelete.

    You can create an addon collection if you are logged in on addons.mozilla.org.



  • Epiphany uses WebKit, but it doesn’t have working add-on support yet, so you will still have lots of ads and cookie banners.

    I use it as a secondary browser if something doesn’t work in Librewolf, but for me the internet is pretty much unusable without “i (still) don’t care about cookies” and UBlock Origin, so it only works as a backup for me.

    There are also some Browsers using QTWebengine which uses Blink (the core of Chromium (meaning technically not chromium itself)) like Qutebrowser and Falkon.

    Pale Moon and Basilisk which are based on an old version of Firefox and diverged quite a bit.

    Konqueror which uses KHTML (predecessor of WebKit (predecessor of Blink)).

    NetSurf idk haven’t tried it.

    Then there is stuff like Ladybird, which will crash all the time. Links, ELinks, Lynx, w3m, Links2 are text based. Discontinued Internet Explorer. Old versions of MS Egde. Old versions of Opera. Basically nothing else that is usable.
