F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
F-Droid is one of the first apps I install when restoring my phone. That said, I usually use F-Droid to install an alternate frontend. There's Neo Store[0] which is a fork of Droid-ify[1] which itself is a fork of Foxy Droid[2]. Personally I use Neo Store, includes more repos by default and can auto update apps.

the best browser
Hi, I use Neostore to manage my Foss apps... including setting the repos to various foss projects (Izzydroid.. ) , Mull is part of it. Maybe accessible from F-Droid too but Neostore is way better

Bought a Fairphone 4 recently. Overall happy but I have a few gripes with it
You could then try to use Neo Store

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
I didn't last long with the stock keyboard before installing AnySoftKeyboard which is one of the few FOSS alternative with support for swipe typing. The experience was... OK. It felt slow and it's accuracy left a lot to be desired. I still had to be slow and pretty accurate, so it didn't really feel like much of a change from the stock experience. FlorisBoard have also introduced their own implementation but the feedback I read suggested it would be much the same as my experience with AnySoftKeyboard's gesture typing.

CleverType: Unlock the power of AI with Grammarly, Wordtune and ChatGpt on your keyboard.
I am excited to see how this project will develop. I'm sure starting out with https://florisboard.org/ was extremely helpful. Other devs have started from scratch, but florisboard is already advanced and feature rich. You could keep it open source to alleviate concerns of privacy. Just an idea.

Android keyboard recommendations ?
The Github code repository (https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard) had an update on February 24, so the app is not abandoned. It reads like they plan a massive update for the next version, and word suggestions will be available.

Keyboard for Android
I tested two: AnySoftKeyboard, it's stable and works even on very old devices, but it lacks modern features and the settings are really ugly and confusing (but once you look at all of them, you'll be able to make the keyboard the way you like it, is very customizable). And I also tested FlorisBoard, it's modern, beautiful, but it's a work in progress currently in early-beta stage and it has many incomplete or buggy features. So I ended up with AnySoftKeyboard. I know there are others, but it was these two projects that caught my attention the most.

Custom keyboard extension
Probably only via AOSP mirror. It's an AOSP component so not officially available as its own component. Check out https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard for a GitHub based OSS keyboard.

Microsoft brings its Bing chatbot to your fingertips with SwiftKey on Android - The Verge
FlorisBoard (perhaps): This one is the dark horse for me. It's layout etc can be all customized to my liking and it's FOSS. But it doesn't have a suggestion provider API etc none of that yet (WIP) so, as it stands now it's "just" a highly customizable FOSS "keyboard" app, and nothing more. I have high hopes for it though.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Neo-Store and FlorisBoard you can also consider the following projects:
fdroidclient - Android client application.
OpenBoard - 100% foss keyboard based on AOSP, with no dependency on Google binaries, that respects your privacy.
fdroidclient
AnySoftKeyboard - Android (f/w 2.1+) on screen keyboard for multiple languages.
Hendroid - Doujinshi Android App
simple-keyboard
Obtainium - Get Android app updates straight from the source.
hackerskeyboard - Hacker's Keyboard (official)
client - F-Droid client with Material UI.
rime-cantonese - Rime Cantonese input schema | 粵語拼音輸入方案
foxy-droid - Yet another F-Droid client
8VIM - A Text Editor inside a keyboard, drawing it's inspiration from 8pen and Vim.
