I’ve been using Xtreme Download Manager for a long time. It’s lightweight and has a browser extension, so it can easily intercept links. Some websites can’t be easily intercepted by it, so I use JDownloader2 instead for that.

Always under the pretense of protecting kids when they actually don’t care

Games and softwares: I store the installers, delete if I don’t like it

Music: store them all, even if some songs in an album isn’t my cup of tea

Videos: want to save all of them, but my storage is pretty small in the first place, so I pick the ones I really like

Ebooks: only downloaded a few, but still save them all

Mangas: usually save unless I don’t really like it or no reason to reread

Actually I use duckduckgo nowadays. It just sounds clunky to say “duckduckgoing” or “searching on duckduckgo”. Also that info I got is from a Reddit post.

After some quick googling, seems like it’s not open source yet, just soon™. They can pull their statement back.

Not sure about that, I never use patched online apps from there. You could check if the uploader is trusted and read the comments.

I’ve been using Mobilism for a long time. Most of the time I find what I need there.
