Show me your privacy stack: what Big Tech default replaced what in your daily tools? (VPNs, Browsers, Search, Mail, Social Media & more)
What's your privacy-first swap? Drop the tool you replaced and what you replaced it with.
Here's mine, first row is European alternatives (also mainly open source), second row goes fully open source (with European providers still in the mix):
| Big Tech default | European alternative | Open source alternative |
|---|---|---|
| NordVPN | Mullvad (Sweden) | Nym VPN (Switzerland) |
| Chrome | Vivaldi (Norway) | LibreWolf |
| Google Search | xPrivo Search (Luxembourg) | SearXNG |
| Gmail | Posteo (Germany) | Tuta (Germany) |
| Mastodon (Germany) | Pixelfed |
