SOME NATIVE/ ANDROID APPS RECOMMENDED IN JOLLA C/ AQUA FISH
WEB BROWSERS
I recommend to install Webkit (same engine used by apple ios based safari) based browsers like Webcat and Webpirate as they have download manager, Youtube downloader, Swipe to go backward in Web Pirate, Copy text other than links in Webcat ( as default browser helps to copy links only), ad blocking, additional search engines etc.
Webcat support both multiwindow and multitab.
