Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

The confusing CalyxOS-supplied Chromium
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

I've been really trying to get away from advertisements and tracking by using FOSS apps via GitHub. There's a few alternatives I'm looking for and any other suggestions are welcome
ii) Cromite is among my favorite FLOSS apps, and browser, across my Android devices.

YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Spurs Record Uninstalls
Help starving lone devs keep up important projects.
The big fish are Ublock Origin and AdBlock Plus, as well as YT front ends like yt-dl, Invidious and Newpipe, but by favorite project is https://github.com/uazo/cromite
I think YouTube is eventually going to assert control through Chrome, and the community is going to be caught flat footed with everyone still relying on Chrome extensions.

uBlock-Origin – 1.52.0
Yes, see https://github.com/uazo/cromite
But the history of minimalistic Chromium forks is really sad, as they seem to get little attention and maintaining them requires a ton of work.

Open-Source Contacts App for Android?
I don't have a personal recommendation but you could check this list on github, you might find what you're looking for.
- Google to remove all VPN ad blockers that don’t comply with their policy

need Gapps afterall
Additionally, check out https://github.com/offa/android-foss for a well orgainized list of FOSS apps for android. Otherwise you can use aurora store(preferred)/apkmirror/apkpure with a browser for non FOSS apps; not as great of a user experience, updates are manual for the latter two, but I try to stay away from non-FOSS as much as possible, so I don't suffer greatly.
