I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

Why avoid Safari if it’s one of the browsers with best privacy rating?

[-] BoycottTwitter@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Safari isn't open source. They could in theory add a backdoor anytime and it would be more difficult to audit.

While privacy may be fine, I think Apple as a company is pretty deplorable.

It technically isn't. There are better browsers for that. That said, the ultimate goal of these guides is to move away from big tech, so it won't help going from one to the other.

If that isn't a concern of yours, then no need to more.
