DeGoogle Yourself

Ecosia Browser

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.

Everything you need and more if you have a bit of time and an old laptop or two.

Some of these you can use through public hosted servers too.

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.

Cryptpad for a Drive/Online Office Suite replacement, it's fantastic

I like Firefox Sync. What are my options when moving to Librewolf?

Threema (not Therma)

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

Most KeePass clients have built-in OTP support too. That being said I still prefer Aegis.

Vivaldi and brave are just chrome.

Floorp mentioned!

I would add

• Proton Drive
• Proton Pass

To the Google Drive and Google Passwords areas.

Proton Drive also has the ability to view pictures it has backed up, but because everything is encrypted, they can't really sort them into buckets like you can with Google Photos.

Alternative to google search engine, Kagi

Wouldn't really recommend threema and would include SimpleX

Nice. Notesnook is great for sync between pc and phone, but I don't know the others. Thanks!

I’ve been looking at https://www.openphone.com/ as an alternative to Google Voice. It’s not free (but that may be a bonus), but it does let you port your GV number into their system.

$19/mo.

It’s the closest I’ve found to a replacement. I’d love to hear anyone else who uses something similar.

Might also add Collabora, it's libreoffice, but allows online collaboration and has the nicest integration into nextcloud, imo.
