DeMicrosoft Your Life
How are you?
In this list I bring you a variety of alternative software to those from Microsoft, and also that these free and open source programs
So enjoy this list!
(I will be updating it every day)
Without Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple & the rest Big Tech
(in progress)
The higher the level - the lower the level of comfort and stability, but higher the level of freedom and ethical, respectful treatment of you.
Don't choose the highest level everywhere at once (you can go crazy that way), choose what you need to accomplish your tasks and move slowly to the next level (if you understand what you really need it)

Firefox.... the way it should be.
Very privacy oriented, less useless features, works with Firefox extensions, not based on Chromium
LW is shipped WITHOUT an integrated updater!
There's an addon that alerts the latest update
@Ruyeex Recurring to an add-on/extension to not only not get the update but just to get notified: It is not a feature nor a positive perspective from the situation, specially where other browsers such as Floorp, support auto-update even on their portable version.
@ANON2025 Indeed which is quite a pain to set up unless it's big tech who doesn't want to update software. But I agree on that point which it should include it on default but let the users has control on their version despite the risks.
of all the things to complain about, wow. Have you heard of reminders? Set yourself one :)
That is by design. There is a checkbox in the windows installer to install an updater iirc. The reason is to allow users full control of their system, including what updates they get.
Apart from that, LW is full of bugs and oddities: It doesn't save login credentials. It renders web pages incorrectly or very slowly. It displays graphics/images incorrectly, as if there were some kind of graphics glitch. Over time, individual LW processes can generate an insane amount of CPU load and, in the worst case, use up the entire CPU. — A bug that occurs especially after waking up from hibernation.
I prefer LibreWolf because it has a portable version unlike Mullvad Browser and Firefox
though I do plenty of tweaks to make it more usable, such as disabling resist fingerprinting
I've been using AI more and more, but privacy on the web is still important to me. That's why I like LibreWolf—it keeps the familiar Firefox experience while removing a lot of the tracking and unnecessary telemetry. If you care about privacy and want a browser that puts you in control, it's definitely worth trying.
I have been using LibreWolf for more than half a year, and it has become my primary browser for everyday use. My switch was motivated by a desire for stronger privacy, transparency, and a move away from big-tech ecosystems.
Before LibreWolf, I used Vivaldi and earlier Google Chrome. In early 2025, I decided to become more conscious about my digital privacy, which led me to try LibreWolf (a decision I have not regretted).
I use the browser for general browsing, work, streaming, research, and occasional gaming, and it has been reliable across all tasks. Performance feels smooth and responsive, likely due to its minimalist design compared to more feature-heavy browsers.
Privacy is extremely important to me, and LibreWolf delivers strong protections right out of the box. I especially appreciate the minimalist philosophy and the fact that only minimal configuration was needed to get started.
One drawback is the somewhat limited customization options. While I appreciate the minimalist defaults, it would be nice to have more opportunities for deeper personalization available when needed.
Overall, I highly recommend LibreWolf, especially to users who prioritize privacy and stability over extensive customization. There is also an active community that makes it easier to find help if needed.
i'm GOONING on this browser rn. it's very privacy-focused, has ublock origin integrated, resists fingerprinting, holy moly i'm having a good time with it.
ayo
Needs a setting to let it remember passwords, but it's a steel trap when you use it with a good VPN!
