Fedora Silverblue has been utterly fantastic for me. Only item layered is Opensnitch which is of course also amazing
When I look for new distros to try immutables are highest on my preferred list, Aeon & Kinoite, also very nice, can’t go wrong with any of these IMO
You can set exceptions for cookies on per site basis. I know because I also thought this for long time before finding it.
Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data - Manage exceptions
One item off the annoyance list. :)
Last I saw Vivaldi had a very strong no AI stance
Happy long time user of librewolf so havent kept up though
Good article. Have used e/OS for quite some time and it’s excellent, just as IodeOS is. Not perfect for all, but every app I needed worked without issues, while blocking most if not all of known trackers.
Using these phones is also just as importantly about educating ourselves & changing some of our habits. Using the privacy tools, Exodus and such, find yourself making better educated decisions in all things privacy, almost instinctual over time. And across platforms.
Was quite infuriating to see one of my banking apps use so many trackers. But at least now they are blocked. Other apps you begin to weed out and switch to FOSS alternatives as you can. For some apps infested but service occasionally needed, switched to just using a browser and DNS filtering service like NextDNS.
It’s of course a cat & mouse game, Davids against the bigtech Goliath megabucks with effectively government power & policy control.
Appreciate the great work of Gael and others, they are all needed as we find our new way forward.
Started with Niagara so many years ago, never thought I could find a suitable open alternative then joyfully discovered Olauncher been using that for long time. Phone without icons is pure bliss, elegance and far easier to use/find apps
Tuta is great, I like it has its own client, in particular Linux has so few options. Thunderbird is became concerning for me based upon FF underpinning & associated AI moves
That said, I team it with Posteo which is also great, and hard to beat the price
Both bring solid reputation & strong company values & ethics
Tuta works only with its clients
Posteo doesn’t do custom domains
In any case you can try Tuta for free. :)
