@Tutanota Mullvad Browser for me. Maybe a bit overkill, but I'm really enoying how private it is when it comes to tracking and fingerprinting prevention. On mobile I use Qwant's search engine app. Screw Google.

@Tutanota This online bickering comes off as childish and, as others remarked, unprofessional. Both parties here are making a case against American big tech monopolies and their inherent erosion of user privacy standards, with their respective products, so this adversarial posture is unwarranted and disadvantageous for our collective cause. I generally love your posts and online presence advocating for our pro-european and pro-privacy tech alternatives, but @protonprivacy do raise 1/3

a valid point of not listing your direct e-mail competitors on an otherwise stellar roster. Not just @protonprivacy, but no mention of your fellow countrymen from Mailbox.org or Posteo. I get that advertising for your competitors might feel like shooting yourself in the foot, but none are big enough individually against the likes of Google or MS, and the reason we want to move away from these giants, is because we recognize the harms of monopolies and the benefits of healthy competition. 2/3

So it strikes the userbase as a mixed message to stand against a monopoly and somewhat overtly overlook the competition at the same time, when we're pushing for our alternative ecosystem. Acknowledge the rest of the players in the game you're playing, but enhance the importance of your role, by the merit of your strenghts, that's what we want to keep seeing from @Tutanota 3/3

@Tutanota Great list! The fact that people in the comments predictably roll out a slew of their own suggestions and prefered software not featured in it just goes to show how much we are actually spoiled for choice, certainly more than we'd think before starting out on a degoogling journey.

@Tutanota Meanwhile, here in the EU, they're readying Chat Control for another run. What did we do to deserve this timeline? :hurb:
