For me it is the note taking/PKMS tool SilverBullet.

    • EteSync with self-hosted Etebase, an end-to-end encrypted solution for syncing calendars and contacts.

      How trustworthy is movie-web in terms of anonymity?

        Depends on you, if you don’t trust their proxies, you can deploy your own. movie-web is basically just a search engine (with a pretty good and user friendly UI/UX in my opinion) that pulls content from other sources.

        Compared to torrent, i would say it’s more “anonym” since you connect to a server instead of other pc.

        As with all these things: do it behind an always-on VPN on a dedicated device.

          Not needed, it never connects to the content sources directly, it always uses a proxy. You can even deploy your own proxy for free on Cloudflare or Netlify.

      Is EteSync free? It seems to be offering trials and paid plans.

        That’s for their cloud hosting. But the self-hosted variant is completely free.

      This is fantastic! Just started switching over to Librewolf and Mull. I discovered xBrowserSync in the process, which is a great way to sync browser bookmarks. https://www.xbrowsersync.org/

        If you only use Firefox-based browsers, you don’t actually need the extension. You can simply enable Firefox Sync in the LibreWolf settings and it’s end-to-end encrypted by default.
