Time for me to start donating to Firefox. Need to do my part to make sure Chrome doesn’t complete its monopoly

Google Voice - Cheogram

Search - Duck Duck Go or Start Page

Contacts - NextCloud

Calendar - NextCloud

Tasks - Task.Org

Keep - Joplin

Maps - Magic Earth

Passwords & Sign In - Bitwarden or Keepass

Docs & Sheets - Open Office

Gmail - Proton or Tutanota

Dialer - Simple Dialer

Files - Material Files

Chrome - Firefox

YouTube - Peertube

Photos - NextCloud

Bookmarks - NextCloud, Floccus, or XBrowsersync

I use all of these but I still have to use Google Voice and Maps because they are just superior to everything else that I have tried imo. And I sometimes use gmail too because certain website logins are locked to my old Gmail's.

Too bad it's only on available on the Pixel. My pixel 6 had a terrible fingerprint scanner... And when I upgraded to the 7, it was even worse (didn't work in the dark).

So for now afwall+ on my rooted Moto Edge 2022 Plus gets the job done with blocking Google (and other invasive) apps.

Shit never works and I basically have to become a programmer and expert in CLI to get shit to work... until it breaks again. So after having to Google everything on how to do supposedly simple shit, I always end up going back to Windows and GUI's because I don't have time to become a developer.

Don't forget the "Video Background Play Fix" add on. That paired with the adblocking makes it where you can watch ad free YouTube while in another app or even with the screen off.

This. I pressed update on my Android, iPhone, and Desktop and it only took like half a second. This PWA is scary good.

Yes. I remember being argued down that "we don't need copy and paste! That's not an important feature!". Smh

There's an android Mode. But it isn't really material ui either. It threw me off at first, but having the same EXACT experience on my Desktop, iOS, and Android is 🔥🔥🔥.

KeePass all day. Completely open sourced and free.

I use

KeePassium on iOS

KeePassiumXC on desktop

Keepass2Android (no net) on Android.

All synced via Nextcloud but you can sync via sync thing as well if you don’t want to self cloud host.

This, Justchill, and Seez are so good, they have me considering learning how to make PWA. I went down a ionic, react native, and flutter rabbit hole yesterday. Lol
