I’m starting to like Thumb Key. It may have the hardest learning curve I’ve ever seen, but it’s highly configurable, the developer is super active, and it has a ton of nicely implemented features. I feel as if it’ll be like vim: hard to get up to speed on, but once the muscle memory takes hold, I’ll be extremely productive with it.
I made a PWA that can quickly remove tracking variables called Link Cleaner. If you install it through Chrome or another Chromium browser on Android, it shows up as a share target, so you can share links to Link Cleaner and then share again to the intended target.
Heads up, I had to remove this extension on my browser because some websites would get stuck in a redirect loop because it’d remove the tracking stuff it’d use in a redirect chain. Took me months to figure out what was causing it
AOSP keyboard also supports swipe typing when the right library is in place, but I don’t think you can get it without flashing a new ROM or via root access.
You can long press the period beside the enter button for some punctuation, though the swipe through that pop up after the long press is a little janky.
You can also long press letter keys for variations on that letter.
I’m typing this on an iPhone and I just tested both those things to make sure I wasn’t lying to you lol. What feature is missing? Its been a few years since I used android regularly so I seem to have forgotten.
They also haven’t released a version in over a year, or am I missing something? Also doesn’t seem to have a plan for smarter predictions beyond dictionary entries (what OP is looking for)
thanks for making me aware of this, it’s pretty great! the swiping is definitely iffy overall but certainly better than nothing! im mainly just sad that it’s missing my beloved proper black and gray holo theme… sad…
ahh, yeah swipe typing is really tough to inplement well without data collection. i used to use it a lot back before i completely degoogled and id be lying if i said i didnt miss it. i honestly just couldn’t find any foss keyboards at all that had swipe typing!
Bitwarden uses end to end encryption. This severely reduces the risk their infra is attacked. The encryption keys exist on your devices only so it’s impossible to read the server side data.
The only real question is how much you trust Bitwarden as a company. Are they completely lying about E2EE to customers and auditors? If not, then Bitwarden is a good choice.
Enjoy exploring! Hope you find it to be a good experience
Eventually you might find that you’re coming back to the PrivacyGuides.org page, that’s what most people recommend these days as a starting point for recommended tools. There are a lot of companies out there advertising privacy and security without actually PROVIDING privacy and security. It’s becoming a new buzzword
We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.
So I think they only recommend Brave for those that need Chromium
For mobile browsers, I don’t quite understand the differences between each. I personally use Mull when I need it, but Brave might be better on Mobile still?
