DEGOOGLE MEGATHREAD

Saved! This is an excellent resource thanks so much

Is Cryptpad really the best docs alternative? I'm looking for something to replace docs, it's one of the last things I need to degoogle.

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.

Bitwarden also makes an OTP authenticator app.

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

Vivaldi and brave are just chrome.

As an email provider there is also posteo which is a nice email provider from germany that costs only 1 € a month. And with posteo and mailbox you can use 3rd party email clients which is not something you can do on proton or tuta.

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

Threema (not Therma)

Alternative to google search engine, Kagi

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

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

Floorp mentioned!

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

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.

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.

Wouldn't really recommend threema and would include SimpleX

For news/RSS feed I've been using Readrops that is available in Fdroid https://f-droid.org/packages/com.readrops.app

Any iOS alternative to Google Tasks?

Seafile as a Google Drive/Dropbox replacement. You can self host but they also offer paid accounts I think.

Would it be better to replace Gemini with a local model run through ollama or something?

Someone please help me find a browser that has the Chromium gestures.

I want o be able to pull the URL bar down to go into the tab selection screen and pull the page down to refresh, and all the Firefox based browsers are so different it drives me crazy and I go back to chrome or brave.
