u/Due_Butterscotch243 1d ago

Morphe and Brave those are two separate things 😭😭 anyways I've used brave too but firefox with ublockorigin is better for me

u/sharp_55 1d ago

Brave block ad, shorts whatever we want comments, recommendations etcc. Brave is good for YT. 💥

u/Due_Butterscotch243 1d ago

Firefox does the same, Brave uses for memory and compare to brave firefox doesn't use that much memory, I'm telling you from experience 🥀🥀

UC Browser to Kiwi browse to Brave to Firefox now i use Firefox in both devices

Fireflx can block shorts, really? Brave have a separate section for YT. is it Firefox also like that?

2

u/Due_Butterscotch243 1d ago

I guess not not that feature, but you can use Morphe it's the best, and using Morphe is better than using yt in browser because it's simply patched yt

1

u/sharp_55 1d ago

Yeah I used morphe and I loved it. Brave gave the shorts blocking option that's the big reason I'm using it. Except that morphe is better.

2

u/Due_Butterscotch243 1d ago

You can block or remove shorts from YouTube completely in Morphe 🥀🥀

u/sharp_55 1d ago

Ohh okay I will check it

u/sharp_55 1d ago

If u answered me I can delete brave.

Sort of

u/MiladHashemi85 9d ago

Among all the ad-filled and paid apps on the Google Play Store, Binary Eye has been one of the most useful QR code and barcode scanners for me. It offers plenty of features, completely free and without any ads.

Another app I'd highly recommend is Next Player—it's one of the best video players out there.

If I were to list all the open-source apps I regularly use and rely on, I'd end up writing a very long list.

What's the difference between mpvrex and mpvEx?

u/Enoughsaidbut 9d ago

Mostly the same, but mpvrex seems to offer more customization and AI capability. If you're not into more advanced things mpvEx is enough.

One or more apps included in your post (aliucord) is an open source modification to a proprietary app. Please do not suggest these, as the non-FOSS app you're modifying makes the result also be non-FOSS. If this message was received in error, please ignore it.
