I've recently moved from google to duckduckgo for my searches, Having in mind the growing concern of user privacy, what do you guys suggest for search engines, browsers, os, recommended addons, apps, vpns etc?

For browser, FF or Brave. For OS, any decent Linux distro

📌

Search with duckduckgo in tor browser on tails.

@theNSA without the hyphen

@asgs I wouldn't use brave, it's good in its basics but you can't extend it with addons and thus are reliable on the vendor as for privacy protection features.

As for OS, Linux (or bsd), indeed.

Any specific questions, OR?

@linuxxx how much should i be worried using outlook as my main email and default android on my phone? and for a browser using a firefox with suggested addons is enough?

@koorosh-m Outlook is owned by Microsoft which has all services integrated within a big ass mass surveillance program ran by the US so I'd call that not a good option :P

Firefox sounds good (with addons),

Default android contains Google's play services which can track you full time, I'd recommend lineage or a rom based on that without Google play services but it's of course up to you as for how far you want to go.

@linuxxx absolutely true. The product is still growing and I only hope it grows so much that we could start seeing more add-ons and extensions created by the Community

@koorosh-m I'm personally a huge tutanota.com user by the way!

@linuxxx idk I still kinda feel weird using specific non popular commonly unknown mail services for work, and I'm too lazy to have different accounts for different purposes. I'm fucking lost between choosing integration and privacy. Damn I hate technology.

@koorosh-m Haha I know the feeling, I used to be all Google but years later I've got alternatives for everything but YouTube.

And yes, I do have accounts for everything haha.

If you need/want advice or have any questions, feel free to ask!

@linuxxx damn dude, thanks for the support and time. I hope u bang a hot girl or guy (whtvr u prefer man lol) in the coming weeks.
