DISCLAIMERS :
Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it !
Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !
English is not my mother tongue ^^'

Best manga app for Android
Tachiyomi got hit hard by a lawsuit from a company unhappy about people reading their content through the app and skipping their ads. You should switch to Mihon instead—it's an open-source fork of Tachiyomi, has all the same features, and keeps the spirit alive. Open-source forever!
Tachiyomi was sued into oblivion by a company who disliked the fact that users use the app to read from their site without seeing their ads. Go use Mihon instead. It's an open-source fork of Tachiyomi with feature parity. Long live FOSS.
It was the best, now a legend... O7
As of version 0.15.2 the Tachiyomi github purged it's extension repository of all extensions for third party sites.
The main branch of Tachiyomi has the largest open source community compared to it's branches or other similar apps. Because of this, third party extensions hosted in the official repository, maintained by the community, and scrutinized by many eyes, could be "trusted" to a certain extent.
This purge forces users to find third party extensions from repositories that have a smaller open source community and are therefore more likely to be infected, buggy, or privacy-compromising than before.
Also because of the possible backlash from this abrupt change, the Tachiyomi reddit and Discord have been locked.
This purge and subsequent lockdown with absolutely no input from the community at large not only could compromise user's security, but totally goes against the principals of being Free Open Source Software in the first place.
It's now officially discontinued. :-[ https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-13-goodbye
Updates: The Tachiyomi main branch will no longer be maintained but a clone that aims to take over the project named Mihon is in the works. The TachiyomiSY and TachiyomiAZ branches are still being maintained, and will move over to being downstream of Mihon once that gets started up. Out of the box extensions will still be gone but it appears the community has mostly united around one extension repository in named Keiyoushi.
Some released forks have been added. Feel free to vote for them if you feel like it.
One of, if not the best application to read manga from different sources. No ads, no registration, notifications about new chapters, saving locally as ebook\comic reader compatible formats, nsfw warnings and tags filtering etc.
