I tested 4 open-source alternatives to Google’s Gboard — they’re much better than you think

I switched to SwiftKey after years of using Gboard as my default keyboard on Android. SwiftKey is my current favorite because it offers excellent predictions, better multilingual capability and supports glide-to-space typing. However, since you need to sign in to your Microsoft account to use some features like clipboard sharing, data collection is a real concern, though you do have the option to adjust privacy settings.
