What are some Android tablet brands in the USA other than Google, Lenovo, and Samsung? I'm looking for a #5G tablet in the sub-$300 range and it's seeming like there's one Samsung, or several hundred random Chinese Amazon sellers that don't even have a brand name on the product listing.

A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.

I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I'll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!

TL;DR

  • Google is expanding its “Ask someone to pay” feature for the Play Store.
  • Users in the US, Japan, Mexico, and Indonesia will now have access to the feature.
  • This option allows you to ask someone outside of your Google family group to pay for a transaction.

Update details:

  • Fixed cases where OK button could not be pressed on intro screen
  • Changed system top bar to neutral color again
  • Fixed an issue with desktop mode on large screens
  • Fixed crashes when opening pop up menu

  • Create home screen shortcuts and retrieves icons in suitable resolution.
  • Various settings (JavaScript, cookies, adblocking, location/camera/microphone access) can be set for every web app individually
  • Navigation with multi-touch gestures while browsing.
  • Opt-in adblock with user-selected filter lists.
  • Less memory footprint and no privacy-invading app permissions in comparison to native apps
  • Dark mode for Android 10+
