Cannot uninstall, stop, or restart an App from DuckDuckGo Android mobile browser

Here is my setup:

Device: Pixel 8a OS: GrapheneOS App Store: F-Droid

The long-press context menu does not work. There is no way to access the Uninstall, Stop, or Restart workflows, since there is no longer a "Manage Applications" view.

Personally, even if this did work, I don't think the primary (or perhaps the only?) way to access these actions should be a context menu accessed by a right-click or long-press. Most users don't think or know to do these actions in a browser, and they will waste a lot of time trying to figure it out (like I did). Clearly a UX anti-pattern, in my opinion.

Resolution Suggestion:

Duplicate these actions in the ellipses menu on the app's management view. (e.g. below the "Advanced Settings" menu item in the screenshot).
