F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
While Graphene comes with Vanadium, their own Chromium-based browser, pre-installed I chose to go with Mull as my default browser. There wasn't anything wrong with Vanadium, it's just that I've been using Firefox (and the wonderful uBlock Origin plugin) on my Linux machine for a little while now and have really grown to prefer it to Chromium-based browsers. In my research I had seen a lot of mentions of Mull and Fennec, both based on Firefox but with further hardening and privacy modifications. This detailed browser comparison chart (produced by the developer of Mull) is what ultimately led to me choosing Mull. It's definitely worth a look at the chart even if you aren't in the market for a new browser!

Mulch WebView on other ROMs
I tried installing Mulch WebView on my device which runs plain LineageOS (no DivestOS available, sadly) and discovered that it won't install due to it having same app "name" (com.andriod.webview) but a different signature. Is it possible to somehow bypass that and is it even a good idea to install it in the first place? Got the apk from DivestOS prebuilts on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mulch/-/tree/master/prebuilt/arm64)
