I am open to any suggestions or to add an services I missed! Suggestions are especially welcome on services with less than three current options
Most KeePass clients have built-in OTP support too. That being said I still prefer Aegis.
I would add
- Proton Drive
- Proton Pass
To the Google Drive and Google Passwords areas.
Proton Drive also has the ability to view pictures it has backed up, but because everything is encrypted, they can’t really sort them into buckets like you can with Google Photos.
Floorp mentioned!
As an email provider there is also posteo which is a nice email provider from germany that costs only 1 € a month. And with posteo and mailbox you can use 3rd party email clients which is not something you can do on proton or tuta.
Two corrections, Tutanota is just called Tuta now and SearX is no longer maintained, SearXNG is the active fork.
As far as youtube goes, I use Freetube and don’t have any complaints. Available for win/mac/linux
Is Cryptpad really the best docs alternative? I’m looking for something to replace docs, it’s one of the last things I need to degoogle.
Wouldn’t really recommend threema and would include SimpleX
Why not?
Based around a company
To be fair, Simplex is also a for-profit company. However, it’s at least decentralized and more open, I’d take it over Threema any day.
Where did you found that SimpleX was for profit?
Their own FAQ: https://simplex.chat/faq/#funding-and-business-model
What’s wrong with threema?
I’m concerned about centralization the most.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but how is signal any less centralised?
Signal isn’t, and that’s one of mine (and a lot of other people’s) main gripes with it.

I initially had problems with Piped, but I’ve been using PipePipe for ages and have never had an issue.
I like Firefox Sync. What are my options when moving to Librewolf?
You can continue using it.
https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#can-i-use-firefox-sync-with-librewolf-is-it-safe-to-do-so
Everything you need and more if you have a bit of time and an old laptop or two.
https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Some of these you can use through public hosted servers too.
Wow! These are great. I’m going to have to try out minusgames. I’ve just been using syncthing.
I run a lot of these on the background of my desktop too and you can flip them off if they’re too intensive and you want to game or something. Self hosting is a little tedious to start but it saves so much money lol.
Cryptpad for a Drive/Online Office Suite replacement, it’s fantastic
Just started using this. It’s free (for a small amount of storage) and super private. Like so private that if you forget your password, your data is lost forever.
Would it be better to replace Gemini with a local model run through ollama or something?
Yes, but unless you have god hardware it won’t be a direct replacement ):
Alternative to google search engine, Kagi
Just a PSA about Kagi: https://snoo.habedieeh.re/r/ukraine/comments/1gvcqua/psa_the_kagi_search_engine_directly_funds_yandex/
DuckDuckGo has suspended its partnership with Yandex in 2022. https://www.vox.com/recode/22981115/duckduckgo-free-speech-privacy-oops
Why is that a problem exactly?
Is it just because they’re Russian?
Are there some dots I’m not connecting?russia is the no-no country for doing bad things, like starting pointless wars and terrorizing a civilian population. so you can’t support them. you’ll have to find other alternatives to your services that support bad countries doing bad things.
Yes Steve. Because they are Russian, pay their taxes in Russia and therefore finance the war. They can potentially introduce biases in their search results as well.
Please note that it’s just a PSA. Do what you want with this information.
If you’re degoogling to reduce google’s influence in the world, not just in your life, you should avoid chromium based browsers entirely. Google’s chromium web rendering engine dominates most web traffic, and is squeezing out all alternatives. This leaves defining web standards in the hands of google pretty much exclusively. Vivaldi and Brave should be avoided for this reason. Brave founder Brendan Eich donates to funds seeking to undo gay marriage protections in the US and other reactionary causes, if that matters to you (it should).
Vivaldi and brave are just chrome.
