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.

I hadn’t heard of Here We Go and so far it’s the only Maps alternative that actually gives correct routes for public transport. I wonder why its rating on Play is so low (2.9).
As for Gmail alternatives, I wouldn’t consider it a real alternative if you have to pay for it.
