      Pinephone and other 'linux' based phones are promising but still has much more work to do on both hardware and software side. Most SoC's still depend on properitary blobs -which are powerful ones- so devs and user base have to put more pressure on chip manufacturers which depends merely on using FOSS. IMO this is just a cat and mouse situation with dead end, last users not going to get any fully open sourced mobile OS. Neither G or Goverments can give up on such a easily reachable data harvesting tool.
      Pine or Librem phones are cool but seems like people are way too optimistic about them

    SearX - you can find several good open instances if you don't want to host your own.
    StartPage was sold to some advertising company, I won't touch it with 12 feet pole. People are saying that Qwant and SwissCow are good privacy oriented search engines.
    I was fan of tuta and proton mail, but there are sticky rumours about proton being sponsored by NSA and both do vendor lock with custom email clients. Also claim that proton has encrypted server storage is just a claim.
    My beef with signal is that Moxy is so stubborn and doesn't want decentralisation and federation, this is beyond understanding. Also so far Signal uses your phone# as an ID, so using it you provide your phone book to third party. Yeah, I know, I know, your phone book been uploaded to shitbook and other companies over 9000 times already, yet doing this is a bit unethical. Wire, on the other hand, has open sourced server and client iirc and doesn't use your phone # as id, yet implements same protocol as Signal does. Good alternative is xmpp - lightweight, million different clients, privacy, etc.
    On android there is good Play Store replacement - Aurora store (available on f-droid), before install any app you can check how many trackers in each app (hint: way fucking too many!)

    Just a note that Microsoft's outlook/hotmail (or even Microsoft in general) does not sell user data to other companies. Windows 10 definitely has quite a bit of privacy invasion (and to a lesser extent some of the other Windows), but at least it's still stuff that always stays at Microsoft.
    Of course if the government asks for it Microsoft will hand over the data, but personally I don't consider that to be an issue unless someone was a prominent person or doing some crimes.

    For privacy, i think GNU icecat is probably the best one next to Tor. You shouldnt trust anything Chromium based…period. Open source Chromium still phones home to google. Ungoogled chromium is the only one i would consider. Icecat is always current with the lastest Firefox esr release but you have to build the browser from source. Im on Gentoo Linux so its not a problem as Icecat is readily available in an overlay. Despite what online reviews say, Firefox may be slower than other browsers are but the forks with telemetry removed/disabled are quite snappy, especially when compiled with pgo and lto optimizations. In my opinion, if you cant build it from source, you shouldnt install it. For me, propietary software such as steam gets installed in a chroot. You should not trust a propietary web browser period.

      @@scalawagmax I think that the "Firefox is slow" meme is quite outdated, to test webapps I have multiple browsers installed and Firefox is not noticeable slower than Chrome based browsers, and eats a lot less RAM than any Chrome based browser, also starts quicker than Brave and consume less CPU; right now I have Firefox with 43 tabs open (including gmail, around 7 YT tabs, Protonmail that eats a lot on itself, a couple of Amazon pages and a couple of ebay) and no "freezing", 3.9GB is no small footprint, but with the current 43 tabs in Chrome & friends it would be much much worse. And I have a bunch of addons running. Firefox being slow and as heavy as Chrome is just an old meme that people keeps repeating. Firefox is far from perfect, many changes of late doesn't make me happy and I'm constantly trying and hoping for a good browsers without luck su far, but Firefox is not as bad as people say and Chrome is far worse.

And if you combine it with RSS, youtube-dl, and other tools, you can leave the browser only for the few cases you can't divert the workflow somewhere else. I'm working on it :)

      wow,, man, this is not the way. MO didn't say this is the only trusted browser. He just said that using brave improves your privacy level. If you are chromium user, installing Brave will be much better. Yet everyone knows that Brave was caught in some sketchy thing. Privacy is not like flipping a switch - and now you are golden. Every little step makes your privacy better.
