I guess it would be more akin to a “source code hosting service,” but that would imply that I intend to open it to the internet (which isn’t necessarily the case).

LibreTube uses the Material Design 3 design language, which, in my opinion, looks much nicer, more user friendly, and more responsive. NewPipe (and its forks) don’t even use the proper system calls for Picture In Picture.

I would consider GrapheneOS instead of iOS. GrapheneOS provides full compatibility with Android without Google, and you can optionally install Google Play Services. Apple is as bad as Google in some aspects.

As for your main questions, these are my suggestions:

• Email: Proton Mail or Tuta Mail
• Search Engine: DuckDuckGo or Mullvad Leta for search engines, or SearXNG for a metasearch engine
• Browser: GrapheneOS’s Vanadium browser
• YouTube: LibreTube for mobile or FreeTube for desktop
• Cloud Storage: There are many options, but a familiar option for you would be Proton Drive
• Photos: Aves Gallery or Gallery, with network permissions disabled

Most of these are Android-only, because iOS is still privacy invasive by nature. More software can be found on my list of software.

Cheers!

As I mentioned in the post, the icon was created by Gordon Dylan Johnson. The way I interpret it is that the eye represents surveillance, and you are holding up your hand, which is the body language for “stop.”

That would be great, thank you! I have a hunch I’m not the only one with WebGL disabled.

Looks amazing :)

Thank you!

here’s how it is when flying

Is there a version that doesn’t use WebGL?

I received a single flash drive for my birthday one year. That flash drive unlocked the world of Linux to me, and kicked my privacy journey in motion. I’ve come so far in the years since. It truly was the best gift I ever received.

A tool to slow down web crawlers (instead of making you solve captcha puzzles)

ClamAV is an open source antivirus, but I would recommend against using an antivirus altogether due to their invasive nature. You shouldn’t need one with proper sandboxing and isolation.

Mainly because it’s proprietary, privacy invasive by nature, and invasive on computers.

I wanted to show that it is a mobile OS for those who are unaware

Oh

The size on the list does not matter. I resized them so they could fit better on the page.

The intention was more “Banks keep my data safe,” but I wanted to provide a clearer explanation that if your data isn’t safe, neither is your money. I didn’t have enough room to put my full thoughts.

Encryption is a type of security, and Tor/VPNs encrypt your traffic. Accessing .onion sites over Tor is (at least in theory) more secure than accessing clearnet sites.

Yes, this was the intention. It helps protect your website’s data by slowing down web scrapers.

Proton VPN and Mullvad VPN are both open source, meaning their code can be publicly audited to make sure they’re upholding their standards of privacy and security. Furthermore, Proton VPN offers a free tier. These are the main 2 reasons. NordVPN only protects your privacy against other websites, not NordVPN themselves. Hope this helps! Let me know if you want more details.

Edit: Mullvad VPN can also be paid for in cash/Monero, and they don’t ask for any personal information to use it (not even a username!)

Security isn’t the size of the app

This could have two meanings, one of which I figure I should address:

1. If you mean “size of the userbase for an app,” then yes, even projects that fly under the radar are much more secure than “mainstream” options. That’s the main purpose of this infographic.
2. If you mean “physical size of the app on the infographic,” the reason they’re different sizes is simply because they were hard to fit on one page, and this made it look nice ;)

Good question! There are hundreds of good resources, some of which include Privacy Guides and my friends at Punching Up Press (they have a lot of other good infographics).
