I am open to any suggestions or to add an services I missed! Suggestions are especially welcome on services with less than three current options
Ecosia Browser
Threema (not Therma)
Thanks. It’s updated now
closer
Should’ve gone for a me like 3ema instead in my opinion.
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.
Can anyone vouch for this? Is it open source? What is it’s privacy policy
Looks good! I’ll add it to the list. Google voice and google pay are by far the hardest to replace
@Zachariah @lopar49 I used Openphone a few years ago, and it was terrible. Lots of SMS never came through, didn’t work for OTPs (even though they claimed it would), terrible customer service. Despite it being more complex technically, JMP.Chat is much, much better.
If you don’t need the business features, I use jmp.chat for $5 a month.
The only thing I use Google Voice for is being able to reply to text messages on a browser. Is there something I can use for that?
Futo keyboard has voice to text with the ability to download more language models
I like Firefox Sync. What are my options when moving to Librewolf?
You can continue using it.

Any iOS alternative to Google Tasks?
After further inspection, I would recommend Joplin for most private
Thanks for your tips :-) I have been trying both Anytype and Joplin, and might use either, but they seem to be primarly note apps not task/todo/reminder/list/priority apps.
Your first links looked interesting, so I will do some research on them.
Maybe omni focus?
Maybe a Joplin? Sorry this is a kinda half arsed andwer I’ll be back with a better one in a mo
Maybe anytype
Floorp mentioned!
Nice. Notesnook is great for sync between pc and phone, but I don’t know the others. Thanks!
Wouldn’t really recommend threema and would include SimpleX
Why not?
Based around a company

Where did you found that SimpleX was for profit?

What’s wrong with threema?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but how is signal any less centralised?

If you’re degoogling to reduce google’s influence in the world, not just in your life, you should avoid chromium based browsers entirely. Google’s chromium web rendering engine dominates most web traffic, and is squeezing out all alternatives. This leaves defining web standards in the hands of google pretty much exclusively. Vivaldi and Brave should be avoided for this reason. Brave founder Brendan Eich donates to funds seeking to undo gay marriage protections in the US and other reactionary causes, if that matters to you (it should).
Two corrections, Tutanota is just called Tuta now and SearX is no longer maintained, SearXNG is the active fork.
As far as youtube goes, I use Freetube and don’t have any complaints. Available for win/mac/linux
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.
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.
Brave I think If not then ungoogled chromium
Cryptpad for a Drive/Online Office Suite replacement, it’s fantastic
Just started using this. It’s free (for a small amount of storage) and super private. Like so private that if you forget your password, your data is lost forever.
Vivaldi and brave are just chrome.

I initially had problems with Piped, but I’ve been using PipePipe for ages and have never had an issue.
