toy_boat_toy_boatreminder: if you have anything saved with google, you should probably move it to somewhere that’s not tied to the US govt. mark my words: it’s just a matter of time before they weaponize Google.
Yes. Backup everything and move away.
I’ve started using Qwant as my search engine and it’s not bad at all
that’s awesome! this is the first time in decades that i’ve even heard the name of a search alternative. i’m from the hotbot days. do you know if or how much it’s rooted in google’s search? i know that’s wording it poorly, but i hope you still know what i’m asking
ISOmorphQwant uses Bing search results AFAIK.
But they’re working to create an independent and European search index together with Ecosia.
This applies to Apple as well.
ProdigalFrogAnd Microsoft.
aceshighWhich email provider to use?
i’ve switched over to proton for now. that’s not advice, though. look them up before you decide to try them.
huppakeeI’m very happy with proton’s service and products (email/calender/drive) so even with the asshole CEO it still feels like good choice. Maybe not as good as some other options out there, most likely would have chosen Tuta if I would switch now.
Not an email provider but I’ve been using addy.io (addy.io) for a few weeks now and I feel it deserves a shout out. They let you use email aliases to protect your real email. There is a good free option which I use.
I had been using DuckDuckGo’s version (duckduckgo.com/email/) but they require you to use their browser on mobile or their extension on desktop. Also free.
