I keep accidentally tapping it when trying to tap at the end of the address to edit it. Currently this is my biggest struggle with Firefox.

I recommend Mull, btw Google gboard is reading everything you type, I recommend Futo Keyboard, Heliboard or Florisboard

I use Florisboard myself, for its action bar and the priceless clipboard menu (also very secure as it is not shared with the system clipboard).

But Heliboard and Futo Keyboard have autocorrect, and Futo keyboard also voice input, really cool.

I just started using FUTO, text to speech is a bit slower than g board but works about as well.

Swipe and word prediction seems to work just about the same as Gboard

I’ve configured mine to look so similar it looks almost the same (amoled dark theme, number row, symbol hints, reduce press delay to 150ms)

Biggest thing I miss is gif search, I switch to gboard for that then switch back.

About as well? Futo is running locally, i.e. on your smartphone, as opposed to getting uploaded to Google and then processed there.

Ya, on my pixel 8 pro, futo Takes just slightly longer to process Compared to Google, but the accuracy at the end seems to be the same. The difference in speed is really not very significant But it is noticeable.

Heliboard with FUTO voice is the one

You dont need Futo voice, Futo keyboard has a worse UI but allows to import the same models (the biggest one is the only one that has good results) externally.

Sure but if you don’t want a worse UI then you can use these models with Heliboard, best of both worlds

I use HeliBoard with Sayboard, don’t want to support a company like FUTO that isn’t properly FOSS

Honestly it’s source available, and you can make a fork of it as long as it’s non-commercial and doesn’t use the futo name.

I’m fine with it, the liscence, while unusual, seems perfectly fine to me

It depends. For example on an OS without GSF and without giving GBoard internet connection access it should be fine
