The Zuck suck is in full swing. (social.fossware.space)

In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

That’s insane, well I know one thing. This is making me want to go download the DuckDuckGo browser.

In the same week switching to DDG browser and to Lemmy. God dayum I wish there was a good alternative for Gmail.

Protonmail is pretty great!

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I tried Proton but it's so limited. Fastmail is much better, has free email addresses for masking, and a good (searchable) calendar.

I switched to protonmail. It's especially good if you have your own domain name like firstname@lastname.com because you can tie that to your protonmail account.

I like it a lot so far.

What’s your preferred private search engine?

[-] Hominine@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A public Searxng instance is a great way to get some privacy back. We can run searches against multiple engines and settings stay in the local browser. Image searches can be proxied as well if the particular instance allows for it.

Enjoy!

Personally, I just found out about the Brave one. Giving that a try and it seems pretty good so far. Has an AI summarize at the top of the results which worked pretty well when I searched for a news item an hour ago.
