    My picks:

    Chrome -> Librewolf (or Ladybird when it’s ready);

    Gsuite -> Nextcloud selfhosted (where applicable, otherwise Proton);

    Plex -> Jellyfin (I don’t use it but I’ve heard good things about it);

    Another good option for VPN is Windscribe. You get 10 GB per month for free and they are privacy first

      I do use it heavily and came here to recommend it over Plex.

      Don’t use Windscribe.

      Furthermore, four years have already passed (since it was first mentioned), but the audit by cure53 has still not been published, and Windscribe is acting in a completely non-transparent manner.

      Also, avoid VPN services without security audits, such as AirVPN or NymVPN. Their servers could have 50 critical CVEs, and you’d never know it.

        Thanks for letting me know! I’m not really a heavy VPN user, I mostly just use DNSCrypt because it’s fast and I can just leave it on

      Love CoMaps, but I’ve found that the search kinda sucks. It often doesn’t find house numbers (only blocks) and frequently can’t find landmarks or buildings even when searched for by the name that shows up on the map. Am I missing something?

      Thanks for your recommendatios. I haven’t read your articles on CoMaps, but when I looked at the PlayStore (I mean Aurora Store) preview pictures of the app, it looked more or less the same. It’s probably because both are based on OSM, but, currently, I’m happy with Organic Maps.

      Regarding your comment about Brave. I’ve read the article you provided and I always thought there was something not right about Brave, but I saw a chart that compared different Browsers and it said it was better than DDG, so I switched. After reading this article though I really might switch again.

      But what is IronFox? Are you using it? Why have I never heard of it?

        I think they’re just bad at PR. 😅 I have been using it for two-three months now and I’m quite happy with it. It’s like LibreWolf. A Firefox derivative.

        Basically Organic Maps’ private owners planned to commercialize and make components of the application closed source. Very much not in the Open Source spirit that had been touted, for which many external contributors donated their time. So, those who actually gave a shit about being open source forked the project into CoMaps. That is why the two apps very much look the same, because they more or less are, aside from the intentions of their developers.

    Which calender do you guys use? I’ve been using the Proton Calender but now I’m trying out the Fossify Calender. Which one would you recommend?

    Another question: Why are Apple apps even an option on PrivacyPack.org? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of a PrivacyPack?

      Apple, compared to most other big tech companies, are pretty private with data in their own apps. They lie a lot, so trust is a big issue, but they’re significantly better than most other companies who go out of their way to collect and sell everything they can. They’ve definitely gotten considerably worse recently though.

    What did you think that we think about a stupid pic that even the poster finds unworthy of a few words to it?

    Never forget, from the year 2026 on, you are challenged always and everywhere to show that you are human and not a bot.

    Just so you know, Fluxer doesnt support E2EE yet, so it basically just Discord but doesn’t annoyed the hell out of you
