I use MullvadVPN, GrapheneOS and Linux but I also search for any more apps not like OSes. What’a your favorites?
- Fossify mobile suite: It contains all basic tools from a launcher to a notes app
- Clipious: Open source youtube frontend
- Obtainium: Frontend to download apps
- FluffyChat: Matrix client
- Vanadium: Secure chromium fork
- Mull: Less secure then Vanadium but Firefox based
- Thunderbird: Lemmy client
- Termux: Android terminal
- Thunderbird: Open source email client (now on mobile)
- HeliBoard: Open source keyboard
Matrix messaging apps. It’s nice to have modern messaging features, end-to-end encrypted, with no single point of failure, no Google involvement, and no phone numbers. I expect to start recommending it widely when the 2.0 features land in the popular clients.
WireGuard VPN. It’s fast, even on low-power devices.
Self-hosted Mumble. Excellent low-latency voice quality for chatting or gaming with friends.
Radicale, DAVx⁵, and Thunderbird, for calendar and contact sync between mobile and desktop, without handing the data over to Google or anyone else.
Lots.
However I want to give FreeTube some love. Out of all the YT frontends, FreeTube has never failed me and always been a treat to use. I’ve used it on both Linux and Windows, and the experience is always reliable.
Pi-Hole for home Wifi, Guest Wifi for IoT devices. For Desktop PC I use Linux, hardened Firefox, uBlock Origin extension. For the Phone I use NextDNS, work Profile for IoT apps, and F-Droid for some apps.
XMPP + OMEMO & Mumble for chat, offline maps from OSM, self-hosted feed aggregator
NixOS, OpenWRT, LineageOS for microG, but would like to remove Android from my line up.
e/OS. I have it on my FairPhone5, and it’s great for getting rid of google.
Of course graphineOS is more secure, but my main concerns are privacy and sustainability, so it was by far the best pick for me.
