  I haven’t looked at the whole list, but at least parts of it seem outdated.

  • Privacy Badger no longer learns automatically (since 2020) and is now superfluous with ublock origin
  • Enigmail has been discontinued for thunderbird since 2021 because thunderbird includes native pgp support
  • This is the first time I hear about TorBirdy but it hasn’t been updated since 2018 and only lists support up to Thunderbird 60 (current is 115)

    Also according to the arkenfox Wiki you shouldn't bother with Decentraleyes.

    Bromite also hasn’t been updated in over half a year, which is bad for a browser. There is an up to date fork of it called Cromite

  For my taste way to many crypto bro/blockchain products listed. Also some very controversal apps with no comment on the contoversy.

  Maybe you could improve that a bit :)

    Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t have Brave as the top alternative privacy friendly browser option.

      Brave's crypto component is easy to ignore if you never engage with it. On privacy side, it is one of the most ironclad.

    These videos are pretty wack tbh.

  Thanks for list I have been using the GitHub one that I’ve seen passed around :).

    Any reason for not just using PrivacyGuides.org instead? I like seeing a lot variety, but PrivacyGuides seems like the cream of the crop in my opinion.

      Being 100% honest. Didn’t know it was a thing :)

  Genuinely curious, why doesn’t the list suggest NordVPN? And why does it suggest Mullvad, seeing as they’re headquartered in a 14 eyes country?

    Why Mullvad:

    • A Thoroughly audit was done.
    • No logging of users data.

    • NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Ok, but NordVPN?

    I don’t feel like leaving the PG community atm, but here are a few suggestions that come to mind after reading your list.

    Search: SearXNG

    MacOS Firewall: Lulu

    DNS: NextDNS

    Email Alias: AnonAddy

    2FA: 2 FAS, iOS and Android

    2FA: Remove Ravio (sold to sketchy app maker MobiMe). I consider this compromised until proven otherwise.

    YT Proxies: Yattee (iOS App)

    File Encryption: Cryptomator (File encryption app, optimized for the cloud)

    Notes: Joplin

    Podcast: https://podverse.fm/

    Graphics: Digikam ente

      MobiMe (the company that bought Raivo) seems pretty shady. They even have one of those Free VPN apps which is a clear red flag imo.

      The app is Open Source but still…

      Maybe Tofu could be an option. github.com/iKenndac/Tofu

  Nice list! I would’ve added more alternatives but it’s better to keep it short and simple.
