Upvoted a comment on SessionOne of the best options for private and anonymous communication!
I really like it for the backup and restore system of the account with similarity to Bitcoin, as well as the use of a network similar to the Onion network (TOR).
It also allows calls, sending files (images, videos, PDFs...), text messages, links, emojis, etc.
The reason for my choice was due to the fact that it doesn't ask for a phone number, nor does it ask for a link to email!
Some may criticize it for not being used much,...
Signal isn't decentralised,it isn't open source and it requires your phone number.It isn't trustworthy anymore.
Upvoted a comment on ONLYOFFICEMicrosoft's over-priced, buggy and privacy-invading Office suite has an unjustifiably large market share. (Read my review of Microsoft Office Word here). I know several people who are fed up of the Microsoft way of doing things and want to move away, for example to Linux. One of their fears is that Libre Office won't satisfy their requirement to stay compatible with colleagues or...
the name grub makes it ok to me

Upvoted a comment on TailsTails is an amazing tool for those who wish to remain anonymous. The fact that journalists and whistle-blowers have used and recommended it should speak to its security. If you need complete anonymity, Tails is just a download away! Even better, it's based on Debian!
Upvoted a comment on F-DroidI use F-Droid in place of the proprietary Google Play Store or services, and it's served me well for years now. If you're looking to move away from Google and its data-munching services to something more open, private and secure, F-Droid is a must.
Upvoted a comment on JamiJami is my favorite alternative to Skype. I highly recommend Jami.
Strength: • Free. No ads. • Unlimited. Without restriction on file size, speed, bandwidth, features, number of accounts, storage or anything else. • You can sign-in an unlimited amount of accounts at the same time on multiple devices. Then receive notification for all of them. • Easy to use. • Very strong security. Thanks to both its end-to-end encryption & peer-to-peer communications. Also complies with X.509 standard. •...
Upvoted a comment on AltStoreVery easy to use and the best at the moment.
Upvoted a comment on FFmpegThis tool is integrated into so many commercial products without getting much acknowledgement. It has a steep learning curve but with a few simple example searches it can replace nearly all video and some image manipulation paid apps.
Upvoted a comment on Chromium as an alternative to Mozilla FirefoxChromium is the core of the Chrome browser. It functions well enough as a browser but lacks some of Chrome's features (e.g. built in language translator). Even though Chromium is open source, it still "phones home" to Google, which has privacy implications. There are more private Chromium-based browsers, such as Brave and Iridium.
Upvoted a comment on GmailGmail (and Google) is "free" because it harvests your private information, scans your emails, contacts, and collates this against your use of YouTube, Chrome, your browsing habits, Google Drive contents, websites you visit and adverts you click... everything... The amount of information collected is massive, creepy and you'll never undo it. If a person followed you around collecting this information you'd think it was the creepiest thing.
Worse still, this information is stored on Google...

Upvoted a comment on Tor BrowserI see that the Tor Browser is listed as an "alternative" to Tor. Just so people aren't confused, the Tor Browser uses Tor, so it's not technically an alternative. Tor refers to the network of devices running the software, whereas the browser is a modified version of Firefox that works together with the Tor network. It includes plugins like NoScript, which blocks things like Java, JavaScript, and Flash on different websites, and Torbutton, which allows you to easily change...
Upvoted a comment on Proton Mail as an alternative to Tuta MailProtonmail and Tutanota are both free services offering user-friendly encrypted email with a good set of features offered for free (and more on the way). Both enable you to send emails to other recipients (via PGP or a link) in a way that resists mass surveillance of the type Gmail, Yahoo! and Outlook are vulnerable to.
Upvoted a comment on FalkonFalkon is very lightweight and runs quickly. If I need to quickly load a webpage, I run it through Falkon. However, if you're looking for in-depth customisation, such as through extensions, then Falkon doesn't have much in that regard. At least it comes with AdBlocker built in, and Greasemonkey, so if you're savvy with Greasemonkey scripts, then Falkon will do just fine for you.

Upvoted a comment on AnySoftKeyboardVariety of themes, sizes, and config options (like vibrate on touch on/off). Great open-source alternative to stock keyboards which may spy on you.
