As an email provider there is also posteo which is a nice email provider from germany that costs only 1 € a month. And with posteo and mailbox you can use 3rd party email clients which is not something you can do on proton or tuta.

Is Cryptpad really the best docs alternative? I’m looking for something to replace docs, it’s one of the last things I need to degoogle.

Wouldn’t really recommend threema and would include SimpleX

If you’re degoogling to reduce google’s influence in the world, not just in your life, you should avoid chromium based browsers entirely. Google’s chromium web rendering engine dominates most web traffic, and is squeezing out all alternatives. This leaves defining web standards in the hands of google pretty much exclusively. Vivaldi and Brave should be avoided for this reason. Brave founder Brendan Eich donates to funds seeking to undo gay marriage protections in the US and other reactionary causes, if that matters to you (it should).

Some of those suggestions are not exactly degoogling, in the strictest sense. If you’re just going to keep using Google services but through a different frontend, you are not freeing yourself from Google.

That’s not to say piped and invidious and Aurora and so on aren’t worth using if you absolutely cannot wean yourself away from Google entirely. It’s a step in the right direction, certainly.

Still, it might be nice to label those suggestions differently in a list like this, for clarity.

Threema (not Therma)

Saved! This is an excellent resource thanks so much

For those of you who want to dump music streaming entirely and go back to audio files Symphony is an open source music player on Android.

Would it be better to replace Gemini with a local model run through ollama or something?

Aren’t Brave and Vivaldi supposed to have blue bullet instead of yellow?

Someone please help me find a browser that has the Chromium gestures.

I want o be able to pull the URL bar down to go into the tab selection screen and pull the page down to refresh, and all the Firefox based browsers are so different it drives me crazy and I go back to chrome or brave.
