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.

    Thanks for the input, Arthur. I consider removing some of those picks or at least flag them for the issues pointed out. Are there some Messaging apps you’d wholeheartedly recommend?
