DuckDuckGo
Trezor, Ethereum Wallet
Tor
ProtonMail
Qubes, Tails, Ubuntu

News (Visit a website, preferably not mass media)
Video Content (Go to a website)
Music ( Use Pleer, find music on the internet, visit a radio station on the internet essentially treating the website like Sirius XM, torrents, etc. Many solutions exist.)
Social Media (Gab, Voat, Steemit)
Virtual Assistant (None if you're mentally competent)
Mobile OS (Smartphones are silly)
App Store ("App stores" never enters my vernacular)
Web Authoring (lol:whomst've:lol)

>>61688301
Every other service does encryption fine but ProtonMail and Tuta think they're fucking special.

That's because they are. I suggest reading more about a service before arriving at uninformed conclusions.

The problem is that normies either rate something 1/5 or 5/5. When you see something rated 4.25 what it really means is that 13 people gave it a 5 and 3 people gave it a 1.

lol fuck off nothing can replace Google, stop even trying to go with alternatives because it isn't even going to work.

>>61688186
Bing and Yahoo are shit

"Google" is strange in that it is a word that has a triple meaning:

Etymologically, well lets just say it has to do with bringing back ideas of old.

Literally, the "google" (10^100) refers to the large amount of information on the internet, as though Google were somehow the internet itself (cough fascism cough)

Figuratively, it sounds like "ogle" or "goggle", because it tries to make you look at the world with it.

It's quite insidious the way Google is trying to brainwash people, and perhaps the most worrying part is that these fuckers even know how.
