TL;DR: I accidentally deleted the old repository with 107 stars, and have moved the project to GitLab because GitHub requires a paid account to recover deleted repositories. I take full responsibility for this, it was an extremely stupid mistake on my part. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. I understand if this damages the trust in the project.

I appreciate all the support you all have given towards the project, it truly means a lot to me! For those of you who bookmarked the repo, please update it to the new GitLab page which will now be actively maintained.

If you don't know what Open Source Everything is, see my original post. It's my own curated list of open source software.

Update: GitHub was able to restore the repository! Special thanks to Seve from GitHub Support for bending the rules a bit. GitLab will still be the primary place where the repository is hosted.

Nice list. I'd at least add Librewolf, Mull, portmaster, RethinkDNS, protonVPN and Bitmask\riseupvpn to the list. They're must have imo.

Gecko based browsers are less secure to Chromium based browsers due to a lack of Per-Site Process Isolation. Mullvad Browser and the Tor Browser are exceptions due to their high privacy standards. Brave was recently added, since the list previously had no Chromium-based browsers.

ProtonVPN will not be added due to their slow action taken towards fixing multicast packet leaks. Once they fix this, I will consider adding them back.

I will eventually add a section for firewalls and public recursive name servers, but there are complications finding those at the moment. Thank you for the suggestions!

Yeah first point is true for mobile, not for desktop tho. You can add Mulch tho, it's chromium based. Thanks for 2nd point, didn't know about it.
