What do you use nowadays that’s on the safer side? I don’t know much outside of the big players like Google. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

RGB3x3@lemmy.world 4 months agoI’ve been degoogling and de-nesting for the last year, especially since the door sensors are going to stop working, just so they can try to sell ADT stuff.
I can no longer trust Google not to kill everything it touches.

NewPipe for YouTube, ProtonVPN to help hide my activity from trackers, Firefox with Privacy Badger and uBlock, Tidal as a replacement for YT Music, I’ve found Moon FM to work for me as a replacement for Google Podcasts.
I’ll be hosting a NAS with Immich to replace Google Photos and have other file storage some time this year.
I use an android, so there’s only so much I can do (and I don’t want to fiddle with GrapheneOS or iPhones). But I find things more enjoyable without constant ads everywhere and without new “features” that only serve to try to keep all your attention on an app all the time.
