When it comes to privacy tools, people are always "spoiled" with options, when open source becomes the industry standard, some of those options may not be as good as it looks like.
Here are my personal top recommendation. "Literally No BS."
All tools listing below are used by myself on a daily bases (Except the last section). Windows and Android are the operating system I used on daily bases, sometimes I also use Mac and IOS, I also start learning to use a bit of Linux for experimental purpose.
Most of the software I recommended supports various operating system, so don't worry if you are not using the same system as me :)
My personal choice Not ideal, but still better than the rest.
The deal breaker here is Proton has its own proxy server which allows user to load all email images without being tracked. I believe currently there is no other email service provider can achieve this.
My personal choice. However, if you are using Proton Unlimited Membership, go with SimpleLogin premium as it will come for free.
DNS customization allows you to add various ads blacklist or you can even make your own one. This is a deal-breaking feature compare to using free public DNS such as Quad9.
My personal choice Again, not ideal, company used to be Russian based. Unfortunately when it comes to customized DNS there isn't really too many options.
There are still lots of many other for various services but these are the ones that I personally used the most.
These are the tools I had tried and decide to NOT use them. However, I do still consider these are viable alternative options for some person, if that person is you, feel free to use them.
