A list with 13 apps by saay without a description.

Google Chrome is the most used web browser in the world, but it's less than perfect. Google keeps adding and then deleting new features, clogging your UI, and has no regard for privacy (even tho they insist on it in Privacy and security section). Instead of making our browsing experience smooth and seamless, they just bombard us with a plethora of useless “updates” and “improvements”. Luckily, there are extensions, made by people seemingly fed up with Google not doing their job. Extensions range from the most useful thing in the universe to I am gonna slow down your PC to the speed of a snail. So, just because an extension seems great at first, doesn't mean it's good or even useful for you. In this list, I am going to showcase some of the extensions I use. The List will be divided into 2 sections: Essential/Always on and Non-essential/Situational.

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!
