F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
After reading a lengthy GitHub discussion at the Openboard repo that went into the logistical options and challenges I decided to go with the less-than-ideal option of using Helium314's Openboard fork with the proprietary Google swipe library (libjni_latinimegoogle.so) imported. I've been using it for a few weeks now and though it feels slightly different than the Gboard I'm used to, the difference has been negligible and I'll be sticking with this setup for the foreseeable future.

Im building my Foss list.
You can give OpenBoard a try till florisboard is a complete app... And also... My case is also same in terms of boost... So imho the best thing you can do is used a cleaned apk of boost (basically a cleaned version of the app with all ads, trackers and analytics disabled)

Redirect google searches to whoogle
I deployed whoogle search at home. For laptops it is rather easy to define it as the default search for alfred and the respective browser, but for iOS devices I have not found a way (except some rather clunky and intrusive extensions) to change the default search engine beyond what Apple tells you. Is there a way to to this via pfSense or pihole? So whenever someone searches in the address bar in safari on iOS that pfSense redirects that search to the whoogle URL?

Do search parameters no longer work? (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo...)
I host an instance of Whoogle Search that I use and never looked back. It's like someone brought Google back to the golden age. No (direct) tracking, no ads, complete control over the results.
