It's time we stop allowing these fascists to control our information, and time to stop letting them profit from our patronage.

Browser:

Brave (stop Google from tracking every single thing you do online)

Search engine:

DuckDuckGo (stop Google from tracking your searches and deciding what you should be allowed to see)

Email:

Protonmail.com (client side encryption, provider cannot read your mail)

Cloud storage:

Owncloud (stop Google from holding all of your important files hostage, and stop them being able to snoop through them)

Bonus: the Brave browser also contains a revolutionary web content monetization scheme...

It blocks all ads on websites, but if you enable it, the browser will offer you an ad occasionally. The beauty of that is that you get to decide who gets the revenue from your watching those ads!

So Crowder can't be "demonitized" by "corporate sponsors". Or Chyna.

Do your part. It might take a little work up front, but we have got to stop handing these elitist oligarchs the power of our data and our eyeballs.

Do your duty pedes!

I used CyanogenMod years ago.

I'm currently researching options.

Android has got to go.

Also an excellent choice!

There are multiple choices for all of these. I just listed what seem to be the most popular solutions that also meet my security requirements.

You know, when I started saying that 20 years ago, people told me I was a "conspiracy theorist".

Whatever that means.
