How do they know that?!&amp;quot; That&amp;#39;s what we&amp;#39;re concerned with, we&amp;#39;re &lt;a href=&quot;/r/DeGoogle&quot;&gt;/r/DeGoogle&lt;/a&gt; and want to keep personal information just that.. Personal. Over the years many companies have proven to take more data on users than necessary and in turn save and potentially leak that data. Many times it is &amp;#39;unintentional&amp;#39;, but once the leak happens, personal data is out there for the world wide web to access. &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_breach&quot;&gt;Data breaches happen quite often&lt;/a&gt; Many breaches happen behind closed doors and might never be released to the public, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.identityforce.com/blog/2020-data-breaches&quot;&gt;here is a list of over 40 known breaches of 2020&lt;/a&gt;. That list includes Tmobile, Facebook, Nintendo, GoDaddy, Zoom, Microsoft, health care providers, pharmacies and more.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;Why should I care?&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;Do you act the same in public vs in private?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once your data is out there, you no longer have control over it. It was said best during &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters&quot;&gt;this Ted Talk by Glenn Greenwald - Why Privacy Matters&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href=&quot;https://peervideo.club/videos/watch/7c0f90a3-7ba4-4f08-a1be-f32e9c450143&quot;&gt;Peertube Link&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://peertube.nomagic.uk/videos/watch/3c80d914-3e6c-43db-b649-5670c3560f1f&quot;&gt;Secondary Peertube Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;From Glenn Greenwald&amp;#39;s Ted Talk, &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re giving up your rights. Your saying hey, &amp;#39;I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;m going to need them so I&amp;#39;m just going to trust that, Let&amp;#39;s get rid of them it doesn&amp;#39;t matter. These guys are going to do the right thing&amp;#39;. &lt;strong&gt;Your rights matter because you never know when your going to need them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;People should be able to pick up the phone and call their family. People should be able to send a text message to their loved one. People should be able to buy a book online, they should be able to travel by train, they should be able to buy an airline ticket without wondering how these events are going to look.. To an agent of the government, possibly not even your government. Years in the future, how they&amp;#39;re going to be misinterpreted and what they&amp;#39;re going to think your intentions. &lt;strong&gt;We have a right to privacy.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cupwire.com/google-timeline/&quot;&gt;Google: a walk down privacy lane&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ted.com/talks/edward_snowden_here_s_how_we_take_back_the_internet&quot;&gt;Ted Talk - Edward Snowden, Here&amp;#39;s how we take back the internet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To start, google is one of the digital advertising companies.

Such as your email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, family &amp;amp; relatives, and much more. How far is far enough?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Majority of these large corporations do not care about users&amp;#39; privacy. Since they don&amp;#39;t, there is only one person that can make the change. You are your own data controller. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;How to get Started&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;First determine your threat model, or how far you want to dive. It&amp;#39;s okay to change this goal at a later time if you feel you want to go further into repalcements or go lighter if you realize there&amp;#39;s that one tool that can&amp;#39;t yet be replaced. Everyone will have their own pace, objectives and goals in mind. So while we see some extremists here zero google products, we will see the opposite side of the spectrum with users needing to keep a few google applications. Please be nice to users on all levels and a reminder to all degooglers, that degoogling even a little bit is better than nothing. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After determine how far you want to take this you can look into the next application that applies to you;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Search Engines&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the best ways to starting freeing yourself is to choose a more user respecting search engine. A few options out there include &lt;a href=&quot;https://duckduckgo.com&quot;&gt;https://duckduckgo.com&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.startpage.com/&quot;&gt;https://www.startpage.com/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.qwant.com/&quot;&gt;https://www.qwant.com/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://metager.de/en&quot;&gt;https://metager.de/en&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://searx.me/&quot;&gt;https://searx.me/&lt;/a&gt;. Please visit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/wiki/index&quot;&gt;our wiki&lt;/a&gt; for further details. By using an alternative search engine, you&amp;#39;re already loosing the grip google has on you as a user and disallowing google to gain that much more data on you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Browsers&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another fantastic step is to change browsers if your using chrome as it is run and owned by google. If you don&amp;#39;t want to step too far away from chrome, you may want to look into &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium&quot;&gt;ungoogled chromium&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/&quot;&gt;icecat&lt;/a&gt;, or (brave*)[&lt;a href=&quot;https://brave.com/&quot;&gt;https://brave.com/&lt;/a&gt;]. Side note for brave: While they have good built in ad blocking, tracker protection, and give users a chrome like feel, they have been discovered to some minor shady activity. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cpomagazine.com/data-privacy/brave-privacy-browser-caught-automatically-adding-affiliate-links-to-cryptocurrency-urls/&quot;&gt;Source 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-affiliate-links-crypto-privacy-ceo-apology&quot;&gt;Source 2&lt;/a&gt;. Since discovery, it is said they have fixed this practice and no longer add affiliate links. However they are not to be fully trusted and should be watched closely, the main reason we mention brave is because some folks still consider a good stepping stone as out of the box it has better tracking protections than firefox.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The best browser you can switch to is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/&quot;&gt;firefox&lt;/a&gt;. To get it privacy oriented, it will involve some add-on installations and about:config page changes. A few basic add-ons that are good to start with are; firefox multi-account containers, invidious redirect, terms of service; didn&amp;#39;t read, and ublock origin. Some more advanced add-ons like noscript or umatrix really give good insight of how much google and facebook tracking scripts are really out there on the web. We recommend checking &lt;a href=&quot;https://privacyguides.org&quot;&gt;https://privacyguides.org&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;/r/privacyguides&quot;&gt;/r/privacyguides&lt;/a&gt; for the latest firefox recommendations. The reason firefox is the most recommended as it is the most configurable and customizable browser option at this point. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lately we have seen &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.torproject.org/&quot;&gt;tor&lt;/a&gt; recommended more than usual. Please only use tor if you&amp;#39;re browsing .onion webpages or if you have a need for the tor network on clearnet. Using tor for everything, ie when it&amp;#39;s not essential slows down the tor network for all users. So please don&amp;#39;t recommend tor in place of using a VPN and be kind to others, use the proper service for the proper job. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Browser Addons&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Above we went over a few different browser add-ons, this section gives a brief summary of what they do and how they may help us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs that preserve your privacy. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple identities or accounts simultaneously.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Invidous redirect - redirects all YouTube links to Invidous.

This is one of the most crucial steps if your in it for the long haul. Services like gmail scan all users emails for tracking, receipts, ad personalization, who you talk to, when you talk to people, attachments, message details, and much more. In combination of email, search, voice to text and tracking scripts across the web companies like google can build a complete file on each individual user. Their likes, dislikes, secrets, hobbies, political stance, preferences, locations, driving habits, moods and much more. It&amp;#39;s quite scary to realize how much data they actually store and why they would ever need some of that data. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Two of the most recommended email providers in the privacy community are &lt;a href=&quot;https://protonmail.com&quot;&gt;protonmail&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/r/protonmail&quot;&gt;/r/protonmail&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://tutanota.com&quot;&gt;tutanota&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/r/tutanota&quot;&gt;/r/tutanota&lt;/a&gt;. They both offer free plans as well as upgraded paid plans with additional features.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A few other great alternatives include &lt;a href=&quot;https://mailbox.org&quot;&gt;https://mailbox.org&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://posteo.de/&quot;&gt;https://posteo.de/&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://disroot.org/en/services/email&quot;&gt;https://disroot.org/en/services/email&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://startmail.com/&quot;&gt;https://startmail.com/&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://fastmail.com&quot;&gt;https://fastmail.com&lt;/a&gt;. You may need to test a few to find which provider works best for your usage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Video Sharing Platform&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;This may be one of the hardest for most folks. Youtube has been around many years, has amassed a huge library of content and in turn has the largest amount of users of any video sharing service. The best alternative would be to switch into a federated video sharing platform such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://joinpeertube.org&quot;&gt;peertube&lt;/a&gt;. If you still need that youtube content, you can easily import the video into most peertube instances with just the url, use &lt;a href=&quot;https://newpipe.schabi.org/&quot;&gt;newpipe on android&lt;/a&gt; or use &lt;a href=&quot;https://invidio.us/&quot;&gt;invidios on desktop&lt;/a&gt;. Both newpipe and invidous retrieve content from google video servers without you having to deal with their UI, tracking, or the need of a google account.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Wrap up&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;ve talked about a few of the alternatives in browsers, add-ons, email providers, and search engines. But there is much more information out there. You can replace your google maps/waze, cloud storage, note taking apps, fitness trackers, domain registrars, hardware, operating system, google forms, recaptcha, google photos and much more. All of those have google run projects which we should try our best to use an alternative when feasible.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;While this guide can be a great starting point, it is not meant to be the end all be all, things change constantly or your preferences may differ from the recommendations above. We have the entire &lt;a href=&quot;/r/degoogle&quot;&gt;/r/degoogle&lt;/a&gt; sub for more research!

Now, you want another Facebook account B that is not connected to account A. The way you try it is this. You install Firefox and use a different email address to create the new Facebook account. You create and use it &lt;strong&gt;only from different WIFIs,&lt;/strong&gt; so both Facebook accounts have different IP addresses.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Does this work? Suppose account A gets banned. Will Facebook have somewhat of a connection to acount B and ban that one too? If certain privacy settings in Firefox are needed to make this work, which would that be concretely?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And again, the question is meant to be general.

I&amp;#39;ve been using DuckDuckGo and Mozilla for a few years now, recently ditched YouTube and I&amp;#39;ve been using LibreOffice more and more. However, I have an Android phone, and there&amp;#39;s one thing getting to me constantly: sync and backup.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been trying to leave Google Photos for a while now and the next best thing was Filen. It&amp;#39;s been great and it syncs well with my PC and my iPad. But I&amp;#39;m still struggling with two main things:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;- Contacts&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;- Backups&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve messed with DAVx5 but I can&amp;#39;t find a good CardDAV client. I&amp;#39;m just starting my adult life and don&amp;#39;t have adult money to spend on these kinds of things. It&amp;#39;s been hard to find something that&amp;#39;s not expensive or self-hosted. Is Fruux a good choice, privacy-wise?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For backups, I mostly need something to store reminders, notes and basic stuff like that. Is it better to just use a service that has it included, such as Simplenote, or does anyone have a real alternative to Google One/iCloud Sync?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m sorry if all of this is kind of basic stuff, but I&amp;#39;m trying really hard to commit to this, and I can&amp;#39;t find these answers anywhere.
