DeGoogle Yourself

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.

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).

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.

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.

Wouldn't really recommend threema and would include SimpleX

Bitwarden also makes an OTP authenticator app.

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

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

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

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

Threema (not Therma)

Do alternatives like Invidious and Piped really work? I'm skeptical because it seems like YouTube doesn't want users to have a privacy-focused viewing experience.

I think PeerTube is a great platform, but it lacks enough content to keep me engaged. Quitting YouTube is challenging, especially since I’ve become more aware of online privacy thanks to some privacy-focused YouTubers. However, many of these creators haven't transitioned to platforms like PeerTube.

For example, while some creators like The Hated One and Mental Outlaw have switched to Linux, they still primarily use YouTube.

There are many FOSS services available, but most still rely on big tech. I'm not saying that's inherently bad, but it does highlight how limited our options can be.
