First, Blokada, which must be sideloaded. Then Evernote. Then Free 42, a really nice HP RPN calculator emulator that I'd be lost without. Most of the rest of what I use are really not deal breakers for me, but I really do use them a lot. I travel for work a lot, so I really use the Delta app and Trippit, for example.
 
FYI, we discourage discussion about modded apps or apps that violate terms of service. I redacted those apps from the OP.
 
Banking apps, PayPal, Amazon, Nest, and...

Why not AdGuard?
 
Why not AdGuard?

From what I understand, they are comparable products. But I've been using Blokada for a long time, and I don't see any compelling reason to switch to AdGuard. If AdGuard works for you then you should stick with it. I've had a long history of excellent service from Blokada, back to when they were the only product filling that need.
 
So many ... Evernote, Arlo (Security cameras app), MyQ, Kasa, Lutron, Tmo Tuesdays, Mi Home, Flo by Moen, Tons of Media apps...YT, Netflix, Plex, Etc.

News apps...and more. I use pretty much all 70 some apps I have on the phone. I cleaned off about 7.

I treat it like my garage, if I do not use it in 6 months, it is usually gone.
 
Uh, whatever useful apps you had on your last phone. Are there really any that are Pixel specific greatness?
 
Wunderground for weather. I have my own PWS (Personal Weather Station) on my deck. I get exact conditions at my house now and I've become something of a weather geek. Not a storm chaser - they're batcrap crazy. I just love meteorological stuff.
Park Mobile. Finding paid legal parking in some towns at night is next to impossible. Especially if those towns are popular for dining. Montclair, NJ is one such town. I noticed lots without an attendant but signs for Park Mobile so I downloaded it, registered, and used it. I paid less than one dollar for 6 hours of parking. And I avoided the $35 ticket that comes with parking unpaid. I was astounded and now I won't be without it.
Apple Music. As a Mac user and also an iPhone user, getting my saved music and playlists over to Android is tedious at best, next to impossible otherwise. Apple Music for Android makes it easy and I have tunes in my car when I'm using my Pixel instead of my iPhone.
