  I’m using Gmail as an email client. I tell Gmail to go to fetch emails from my other accounts and so I have unified email. I don’t use @gmail.com as my primary address.

  Problem: from today Google discontinued the feature and they warned me only yesterday.

  Which webmail has almost feature parity with Gmail?

  I need filters and fetching emails from multiple accounts. I have a dedicated server so the part of fetching email can be done from an external program

    The normal process would be to tell these other accounts to send emails to your primary account. Why would you even authorize another software (or mail provider) to do that.

    Filters are available (almost) everywhere.

      Please don’t just forward all you unencrypted email to the biggest data scanning company in the world

      my reasoning is that forwarding can fail, while if i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk, i don’t have problems

      also: forwarding changes the original headers, and if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

    I have good experiences with Ionos (with my own domain. But they like to upsell you with stuff you don’t need).
    The Business mail tier also supports Exchange Active sync (flaky on Android. Works well on iOS). The business/basic tier has CalDAV/CardDAV (which I use on Android with Davx5.

    Their spam is a bit overzealous. But if something ends up in there, you A: Can whitelist the sender
    B: Receive an info-mail at the end of the day about new messages in the folder.

    The webmailer is neat. But I rather use Thunderbird.

  Anyone knows of a google lens translation alternative? I use it to share memes with a friend who doesn’t know English without having too manually replace text (these days it’s pretty good with context).

  Ideally I would love to self host a thing that would do that, I don’t think it would be too complicated to vibe-code some self hosted translator plugged into a image to text reader/replacer or however you’d call that… But the fact that it sounds simple to vibecode makes me think it either already exists or is way more complicated than it sounds.

    Why would you want it to be a server instead of an app just running on the phone, that can work offline?

      Honestly? Didn’t even think of that, assuming it would be small enough while being good

  Youtube’s alternatives looking really sad :( Love me some Invidious but an actual alternative would be so cool. Peertube is that on paper but missing content aside i think the UI is really holding them back it’s just not inviting at all.

  You should add Vivaldi to the Browser selection. They aren’t necessarily open-source but the company that makes them is ethical. They’re based in Norway.

  Ente Auth is another choice

  It’s criminal that delta.chat isn’t named as an alternative chat especially since it’s in-chat apps (webxdc.org) contain alternatives for half of googles apps that are peer to peer, e2ee and offline first unlike most of the alternatives in the graphic.

  What non-google chromium based browsers would you guys recommend?

  Firefox (and derivatives) are slow as shit on my laptop, but ungoogled chromium is fast enough.

    Non Google chromium browsers?

    My friend, Google develops chromium.

    source

    • irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Ungoogled chromium has always referred to browsers based on chromium, but not branded as Google chrome.

    It’s hard to recommend any Chromium-based browser in 2026 as Chromium no longer supports Manifest v2 extensions, breaking support for essential content blockers like uBlock Origin.

    Even Brave, which has a built-in adblocker not based on extensions, is loaded with AI and Crypto bs, and as far as I’m aware, the adblocker portion of its code is closed source. This isn’t even mentioning the horrific political opinions expressed by the CEO of that company.

    I keep a copy of raw ungoogled Chromium around for webUSB firmware flashing, but that’s it.

    If I were you, I would try and figure out what is causing firefox-based browsers to run slowly - i.e. toggling on/off hardware acceleration in browser settings and see if that makes a difference.

      sure wish mozilla would get their head out of their ass and implement webusb already

      Also: ublock origin lite works excellently.

    Thorium is excellent, but I’m not sure if it’s still being regularly updated. Also interested in alternative chromium browser reccs, if anyone has any.

      Try Vivaldi vivaldi.com
      Probably best alternative to Chrome, sync with mobile/super-customizable
      Also, quite active in Fediverse social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi

    I’ve been using Cromite (fork of Bromite) for a year or two and the dev has only been consistent with pushing updates.

  I’m sure this link is common knowledge (I just came across it) but it looks very well done with many viable alternatives (as far as enhancing privacy, insomuch as we’re able):

      i like openstreetmap a lot. There is also this another application called street complete, with which you can help make it better. Its kind of like a game, there are question bubbles on the map and you answer stuff like what kind of roof some building has or what is the condition of the pavement on some area. Its really nice since its so easy to do and you know you are helping when you use it.

      And if you REALLY want to help, openstreetmap has very good tools for adding information, though you need to use the website for it since it can get quite complex which makes it a bit more cumbersome.

      And in google maps, you just get denied when you try correcting something that is grossly wrong, or have to wait unspecified time to even know if your correction is good enough for whoever is deciding stuff there.

    I use OSM when possible (Organic maps). When not, I use HereWeGo, which will often have listings OSM doesn’t yet
