am I being too grumpy?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't recommend using reddit. It recommends moving from reddit to lemmy.

There's errors on the new one too but the one you're looking at is slightly old

Is startpage not recommended? Did I miss something?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

As I understand, an adtech company bought a majority stake in StartPage in 2019, and though they apparently can't use that stake to force privacy-threatening changes, I personally find that acquisition disconcerting. Probably not enough to say it's unsafe to use, but enough that I prefer some of the other options out there.

What's the best email to use? Anyone have suggestions? usability? I haven't changed because I just end up with decision overload / paralysis.

@LavaPlanet @LEONARDE11 I switched a few times. With Tutanota. It's good and does what I need. I like it so much have gone from the free plan to the paid plan. My advice is if you're not sure, just switch.

For email, have a look at www.posteo.de.

Wait....what....????!!! There's paid browser out there ???

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it's a paid browser (there are a few of those though) it's a paid search engine.

I'm confused, I use Orion all the time on both iPhone and Mac and have never paid.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Ahh you're right, I take it back, Orion is free, Orion+ is paid if you want to support the mission.
