Doesn't lithium has a bug when you highlight your text it highlights everything in that paragraph sometimes ?

It actually works well for me. May you need to update it?

Gnu Icecat, so far the only one that does not connect to anything except what the user types in address bar.

If you have a Mac, Rectangle on is an excellent open source solution for window management. It’s almost like I never left windows with some bounces sprinkled on top. - https://rectangleapp.com

I would also recommend Raycast. It’s a launcher, but it can also windows management - and so much more. https://www.raycast.com/

I use Alfred which is also great. https://www.alfredapp.com/

I honestly don't know about Boox devices.

But I think it should work if you can install it from the Playstore.

Does meld include any sort of git browser to dig into old commits of the same file? The ability to pick a file and compare it's states is a pain point I find with git UI apps. For example, TortiseGit will do this but it requires some painful non-intuitive menus and right clicking to resurrect the older data

Seconding meldmerge. Not paying $70 (BeyondCompare) for what meldmerge does just as well and for free.
