Simpletask (WebDAV) (version 11.0.0): A todo manager based on todo.txt

I was using OSMAnd the other day. Wanted to change a setting that I knew exists, since I looked through them all at one point (don't remember which one off hand, sorry). Spent 2 or 3 minutes looking for it before I ran out of time and gave up. Not the first time this has happened (second or third, I think).

On the developer side, too many interrelated settings can increase the complexity of the code, making it less maintainable.

My favorite compromise is to use settings for the most common functionality tweaks, and then add script hooks to allow extensive customization of behavior. The Android app Simpletask[1] does a great job of this, imo. (There are many places where it could use polish, but it nails the overall approach).

SIMPLETASK A simple task list manager that strives to have just enough features to do GTD (the Getting Things Done methodology), but no more. Based on the todo.txt app so all info is stored in a single text file called todo.txt.

Iceraven for Android. Vivaldi for Windows.

For Android, I use Iceraven, a Firefox fork built with Firefox stable's code that adds more options, features, customizations, and extensions than Firefox for Android has. So I won't have to switch from that even when the Chromium based browsers potentially all adopt Mv3 fully and drop Mv2, because I've already got a browser on that platform which hopefully will be immune that I'm already using not because of what may happen in the future, but because it's my favorite browser.

Iceraven has an extension available called "Video Background Play Fix" that does what you describe.

It should be noted that Iceraven is not compiled from source, ie. it only compiles the UI/app layer, and not the engine or other components.

Full disclosure: I maintain Mull and Fennec F-Droid.

it's already possible via this Firefox fork https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/release...

Kiwi Browser and Ungoogled Chromium for Android support chrome extensions on mobile. Firefox supports some extensions. Firefox Nightly (warning, unstable) supports even more. Firefox forks like Iceraven, Fennec, and Mull also support extensions. All of these guys support uBlock Origin.

Thanks, is this it? Just want to make sure I'm getting the correct one and not forked. https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

Maybe I should also mention Kiwi Browser (Chromium-based) and Iceraven (Firefox-based) specifically for mobile.

Iceraven for Android has a large library of extensions that are really easy to add:
