  Booo, Boost is great and absolutely worth the couple bucks, that goes to a solo dev.

    You can send your bucks to these devs too, without sending 30% of it to support Google.

      I don't even know where to start with this. It's only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.

      Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.

      He has an alternative donation platform. If you contact him, he might be open to giving you an APK if you donate through that. Orr you could just donate through that and install an "acquired" APK. Orr just donate through that and block ads system wide with an APK installed through a proxied store (e.g. Aurora Store). For the longest time I didn't even realize boost had ads because of my ad blocking LMAO

      And they're also just better...

      Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers and I absolutely despise web wrapper "apps". Boost also beats Voyager in customization (won't comment on Blorp, never tried Blorp)
