  1. I don't have good recommendations, Canary Mail looks to be the best but it's closed source !

  4. The passwords

    Always use strong and unique passwords, how to remember them ? You don't have to, use a password manager ! Also enable TOTP everywhere you can ! Or use a YubiKey if you can afford one.

  5. Bitwarden icon
     Like

    The best easy-to-use and cloud sync and open source password manager on a really nice freemium model. You can self host it if you want !

    Worth mentioning (if you don't need cloud sync) : KeePassXC icon KeePassXC on Desktop KeePassDX icon KeePassDX on Android KeePassium icon KeePassium on iOS

    Also Spectre icon Spectre who act differently by generating a strong password with unique informations such as your name and the website you are generating your password for. Free and opens source !

  6. 1Password icon
     Like

    The best proprietary option super secure and not privacy invasive. You could also pay for BitWarden Premium and support open source.

  8. DNS

    You should set a custom DNS, you can do it directly in the settings of Windows, macOS, Linux, Android (9+) and iOS (14+)

  9. If you want to setup a DNS that block ads without running your own Pi-hole icon Pi-hole MullvadDNS as a great free option to use !
