SAY GOODBYE TO BIG COMPANIES WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES
Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up.
That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!
Comments and Reviews
Excellent and effective extension, there's only one aspect that could be improved: on mobile it's perfect, you can even block a user by selecting the option from the three-dot menu. On desktop, unfortunately, you have to go to the user's page, extract their real ID from the page source, and manually add them to the blocklist. For this purpose, on desktop I recommend the De-Troll YouTube extension.
A way around YouTube showing the same tired videos for you to watch. The lack of a sync option with your Firefox account limits its usefulness for those of us who use multiple PCs, however.
