Yesterday on Digital Independence Day I’ve launched a small website suggesting sustainable alternatives to BigTech products.
I’ve started with five categories: Email, Search, Maps, Browsers, Messaging.
There are some controversial picks in there like Proton Mail or Brave. They do have a pretty wide adoption but have severe downsides. I’ll probably remove them again. What do you think?
Which categories would be the next most important ones to add? Which services did I miss on the existing ones? Feedback welcome.

@kjtrnc What are the downsides to Proton Mail and Brave?
Brave is developed by a complete bigot, Proton praises Trump in the name of political neutrality or whatever the fuck.
I think neither of them should be recommended as an alternative by anyone anywhere. They do not represent an alternative, they are the same shit in new wrapping.
@cabbage Thanks for the info!
