Find Sustainable Alternatives to Widespread Big Tech Products on SustySubs.net

There are a lot of good reasons to get away from Big Tech. We show you some good substitutes!

My website has grown to 20 categories.

Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?

(I’ve noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)

I’ve added the controversial topic of AI chatbots. While I think there can’t be truly sustainable options, I think it makes a difference whether you enter your prompts on privacy-threatening, intentionally biased and military supporting providers or with providers who adhere to rules regarding fair use of AI and privacy.

    Feels kind of weird to bring in LLMs when they in their current state are big-tech, unethical, and not sustainable per automatic. It feels like an endorsement, and kind of waters down the rest of the message.

    Also, Brave is none of the things listed on the website. It’s a Ycombinator project, backed by Peter Thiel, and they’ve hijacked affiliate links and such in the past.

    If you want a chromium based browser that’s private and not big tech, then helium or ungoogled chromium would be better bets.

      Ungoogled Chromium my love. I’ve been using them for years now, both on Windows and Linux and I basically have no complaints.

      For Android, if on Graphene you already have Vanadium! If not, Cromite is also pretty good since it has built in Ad-blocking.

        For iOS I’d recommend Orion. It has support for regular addons, both Chromium and Mozilla ones, the same ones you’d install on desktop, so you can just install desktop uBlock Origin and have all the benefits of that.
