Out of curiosity, if you’re on a Pixel, why not choose GrapheneOS?
Raivo is “source available” actually. No real way to verify if it actually running the code available either. There is also no legal way to fork it from my understanding.
For the moment I’ve settled on 2FAS as the best iOS replacement. I’ve used Tofu, but its inability to export is a dealbreaker, and the lack of updates is troubling.
So I tend to agree with the PrivacyGuides.org Team on this one. I’ll break it down slightly differently though. Brave isn’t BAD per se, but I strongly prefer not using a Chromium based browser unless it’s 100% necessary.
Most private and secure but frustrating to use: Tor Browser
Private and secure, still frustrating for daily use: Mullvad Browser
Able to be private and secure, defaults aren’t perfect. Firefox + uBlock Origin
Private and secure by default, potentially slowly updates and a smaller team might impact security. LibreWolf
Chromium Based Browser with good Security and Privacy, defaults aren’t perfect: Brave
Chromium based browser with good privacy, but potentially slow updates and a smaller team. Ungoogled Chromium + uBlock Origin
Happy to have introduced you! 🙂 Hope you find it as helpful as I have.
I don’t feel like leaving the PG community at the moment, but here are a few suggestions that come to mind after reading your list.
Search: SearXNG
MacOS Firewall: Lulu
DNS: NextDNS
Email Alias: AnonAddy
2FA: Remove Ravio (sold to sketchy app maker MobiMe). I consider this compromised until proven otherwise.
YT Proxies: Yattee (iOS App)
File Encryption: Cryptomator (File encryption app, optimized for the cloud)
Notes: Joplin
Podcast: Podverse
Oh for sure. The manual down ranking of Russian search results didn’t really bother me, but the undisclosed inability to block Microsoft tracking in their browser was enough to have me avoid it going forward. Not a good look, especially when there are already better options in the space.
Any reason for not just using PrivacyGuides.org instead? I like seeing a lot of variety, but PrivacyGuides seems like the cream of the crop in my opinion.
I find Brave’s dependence on Chromium (and therefore Google) to be troubling. They don’t have the engineering team to keep up with Google as they continue backtracking on the “Don’t Be Evil” motto.
For the same reason, I prefer Brave Search over DuckDuckGo. DDG relies almost entirely on Bing for its results. In comparison, Brave Search has a completely independent search index and does its own web crawling.
Hey! I wrote up a list of Open Source iOS apps on the Privacy Guides community.
I’ve been slowly trying to become platform agnostic, so I can switch back and forth between OSs without losing function. I’m not 100% there, but I hope this list helps you too if you are looking to go that route.
Copying the relevant bits here.
For iOS:
Fully FOSS:
FOSS, but with a paid tier:
Paid Only, but Open Source:
