I'll be very happy when a google wallet alternative is made (don't think it's really possible right now!?).
For translator I use Translate You with my own DeepL API.
Any Google Task alternatives?
There's Tasks.org, I remember trying it a while ago but I forget what turned me off. Not local-first maybe?
The main reason why people use google maps is the fact it has reviews included.
Other navigation apps don't offer this convenient feature.
What browser are y'all using on Android?
Firefox, Firefox Focus, Firefox Nightly - and Tor
Iceraven, which is a fork of Fennec. Seems to have a nice compromise between privacy and usability and also tries to support more add-ons than the ones Fennec does.
I personally recommend kagi instead of Google search. I've tried most of the ones in this list and kagi gives the best results, and consistently too.
Same, I know people are skeptical about paying for search, but you pay one way or the other for all searches. Being able to tweak my own page to rank to hide sites that are trash is pretty nice.
My problem with that is that my payment method is tied to one account that all of my searches go through, making it less anonymous. Even if they don't save the payment method, they know that all queries are coming from one account, which can potentially be used to track someone.
Kagi also supports bangs, custom bangs, quick bangs, and fine style control.
How is it that all these lists are always kinda bad? They always miss some obvious good alternatives or have ones that shouldn't be there. I've seen so many posted and not a single one has been without issues. And these are not subjective things I'm referencing, I'd have no issue with that, they just always seem to be made by someone who has very shallow and uninformed knowledge about the alternatives. My main issue here is Kagi missing from search, and Proton and Brave being part of any of the recommendations.
Great recommendations, for YouTube I recommend taking a look at peertube and also, while this is not really a YouTube alternative, take a look at fmhy.net they have many links for tv shows, anime, movies, books, educational videos, documentaries, etc... Great tool :3
I started using Tuta recently. I created some aliases. Someone can email be at one of my aliases but if I reply to them then the other person sees my alias as well as my original email address, which kinda defeats the purpose. Anybody know why that is?
If you set up aliases it should be auto-sending back as that email when replying (or mine does). If it isn't, just click the Sender field and change it to the alias in question. If all your aliases aren't an option in that dropdown then I think something isn't configured right and it's possible you set up a catch-all instead of an actual alias I think?
Yeah, even if I select an alias as the sender, they see
myrealemail@tuta.com <myalias@tuta.com>
(except without the single quotes)
In the sender field. I just tried it with someone sitting next to me.

I think it depends where you're viewing the comment, but you can escape markdowns with a forward slash.
'\>' results in >
Oh nice that worked for me. I initially tried the wrong slash before trying the single quotes, then I gave up.
I think koofr and posteo.de should be included
Jottacloud deserves a mention for proper alternative to GPhotos and GDrive
Notesnook is wonderful. It took some work to get Sync Server running in the home lab, but it was worth the effort.
A community for those that would like to get away from Google.
