#VivaldiBrowser Has a good #privacypolicy, is #European, and is 95% #FOSS. It removes the #googlecrap from the #Chromium code before using it in their #browser
Also, it lets adding blocking sources and tweaking them, which is a must-have since their ad blocking is no the greatest, THB.
It has an overall good balance between privacy and functionality, and this is why I believe it should be added in the list.

Hi @kasnder,
As part of the targeted user group I'd like to experiment a bit with #GreaseMilkyway 
Fortunately I'm not addicted to one the apps listed in the examples.
On the project page you mention Developer Assistant from the PlayStore as one potential tool to identify the elements one wants to block. Do you happen to know a comparable #FOSS tool from an #FDroid #Repo I could use instead?
