minus-squarejunderwood@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down2·9 months agoWhich qualities would you like to improve? I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself. Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity Solid Explorer to do file system stuff Built in stuff: Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped. Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction. Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.
