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 is there no section for alternatives to reddit? We should really push more people into the fediverse.
Vivaldi Mail beats Proton and Tuta because Vivaldi strongly opposes cryptocurrencies / pyramid schemes, the others support it.
Vivaldi mail requires you to be an “active community member” in the Vivaldi community
Tuta and Proton are a no-go for me for free tier (or at all) allowing me to use third party software for their email. I like to use Thunderbird and Vivaldi’s email client to combine my inboxes. Unfortunately that doesn’t work with Proton and Tuta.

Shit, didn’t know. Thanks for pointing that out.
I recently got into Vivaldy myself and was bummed to find that out
i don’t use vivaldi mail (aside from the mail client in vivaldi) since i use my own domain but wouldn’t just using social.vivialdi.net count for that? if you’re using mastodon anyway, at least…
I’ve recently switched to Vivaldi on Android because Firefox was constantly just janky for me. Now I’m testing it on Linux too, the included email client is a great perk. Too bad it is not fully open source (the UI stuff is proprietary).
love vivaldi; i found the built in blocker is so much better than ublock, epecially if you edit your sources and add in easylist or the other ublock filters.
i just wish vivaldi android would get extensions.
You can use ironfox in android. Librewolf would be me choice for desktops
Maybe give Iceraven a try. Its a FF Android fork and works with lots of add ons that regular FF android does not offer for some reason.
https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser
Edit:
To be clear, Iceraven does not magically make all add ons usable. But more than regular FF android anyway. From their Readme:
Our goal is to be a close fork of the new Firefox for Android that seeks to provide users with more options, more opportunities to customize (including a broad extension library), and more information about the pages they visit and how their browsers are interacting with those pages.
Notable features include:
about:configsupport- The ability to attempt to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla’s Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries this AMO collection Most of them will not work, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in
android-components, but you may attempt to install them. If you don’t see an add-on you want, you can request it.
I was using the addons I need on my Android Firefox. That part was great. I think most of my issues were more due to the browser engine lacking behind on Android and just feeling janky compared to how smooth and well functioning Chromium based browsers were.
I’ve tried a few Firefox forks on Android here and there and it was usually a few improvements here and there but overall the experience was similar.
A big recent issue was that Firefox initially loaded for a really long time so doing a quick search was anmoying the first time I launched it. Another issue was how often Firefox was killed in the background. That’s partly due to Xiaomi and Android, but for whatever reason even mega bloated chromium browers don’t do that. Then bunch of small issues like browser theme not changing with the rest of the system or changing partially that suddenly I had white on white or black on black and I had to kill Firefox to fix the issue. The Android experience has always been janky for me with FF and I’ve used it for idk as long as I remember it being on Android
I am.sorry to hear this. But I feel your pain. A few years ago I had a phone where some apps just where buggy as hell for some reason. There are so many factors contributing to app stability on Android:
- Android version
- Possible customisations from the phone manufacturer (bloatware, battery optimisations etc.)
- Phone hardware, especially working memory and CPU
My current phone has 8 GB working memory and like 40 GB free memory available. It also runs a approx. five year old LineageOS installation, upgraded each year as stated on their website. Currently its LineageOS 22.2 (android 15).
All of this may or may not have great impact on how well FF Android runs.
Another paid search option is Metager - since Mullvads Leta shut down, i looked for something to switch to and Metager fits the bill: no tracking shit, no ads, a good search with working blacklists, and a configurable cost for the search depending on which indexes you want to use and if you want to use search suggestions. It also taught me to use search shortcuts which i was too lazy to use before - no need to use my tokens when i know i want a wikipedia result.
Metager is an excellent choice, and I do my best to explain to those the difference between it and a standard search provider. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/search-engine
How about startmail for email from the Netherlands
Startmail is there on the site! Just too many good options to include in the infographic. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email
Hmm…maybe a deeper dive into each of the categories would be better
maybe
Planning on adding to the website every week so will look into that
KAGI use russian yandex index.
Among many others. Google, Bing, etc.
Pop_OS I not very good at gaming. Try looking into Gardua Linux and Bazzite as they have more modern packages and faster driver updates.
Cachy OS is also pretty solid in my experience. But i cant really compare it as i didnt use anything else so far
I personally use cachyOS as a daily driver (I got tired of Arch) and it is pretty good performance wise, I just experience a lot of stability problems compared to gardua or bazzite. Still stand by my choice, its an amazing distro.
For Linux, there’s also Arch if you know what are you doing. Manjaro might be a good first step into the Arch ecosystem, even if there are obvious differences, as Manjaro is a different distro, not just a (poorly) preconfigured Arch installation line Omarchy.
Dude, where has libro.fm been?! That’s the type of thing I have been looking for recently. DRM free downloads and a portion of sales supporting a local store.
One of my favourite finds! Their apps are also fantastic… and an obligatory fuck Audible.
Check out Librivox too
I like using fedora over Ubuntu, seems more stable and gets updated sooner. Idk about the politics of it though.
The guide doesn’t say what greyed out means. I thought it was for american companies but there are canadian, australian, and eu things greyed out too.
I made a mistake on Vivaldi, but the others are because they are non-EU owned. The website separates the HQ and ownership better, which helps explain this. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/
It’s not really a mistake with Vivaldi - sure, it’s an EU-based company making an EU-based browser, but they are using Chromium, which is majority controlled by Google.
That is a big part why Firefox and Firefox based browsers are so heavily favoured on the website.

it’s not for everyone but instead of youtube and apple music, i suggest https://idagio.com too
How about startmail for email from the Netherlands
Amazing guide!
