What keyboard do you use and what do you avoid on your Android device? Regardless of OS (i.e., OxygenOS, Lineage OS, etc.) And why.

OpenBoard from F-Droid on Android, it looks great and works fine.
I avoid closed source apps, aside from Google apps I only have Firefox (it probably has some closed source components on Android) and a epub/pdf reader with no suspicious premissions installed. Everything else is FOSS.

Why? My local forum is filled with people dissatisfied with this phone model: it lags, hags, battery drains fast, etc. I have none of these issues.

@m_svo You can install Fennec from F-Droid as well for a completely open Firefox build without telemetry.

Thanks! Was surprised to see it's not locked down like a normal FF stable release: developer mode is there, I can load any extension I like, and about:config is there too (it's not in FF stable).
So, stable with benefits! I like that!
