How to have privacy these days :)

Why privacy?

Privacy is important because advertisers' sole job is to learn how to manipulate your behavior. They want you to spend more on stuff you don't need, and will do anything to get you spending. When you use apps that sell your data, you provide advertisers with the information they need to make advertisement algorithms that specifically work on you. It's creepy and wrong!!

It only takes installing an app to stop them, so why not reclaim your privacy, freedom, & general right to not be treated as a product?

Everyday Internet Usage:

Android

• F-Droid:

  • An open-source, privacy-loving Play Store.
  • Use this exclusively so your app installation data isn't tracked and sold by Google.

• Clipious:

  • YouTube client that doesn't track you.
  • Removes ads, clickbait titles & thumbnails, sponsors, filler sections
  • Instructions

    Once you're in the app, go to settings > add server > click + on any of the servers listed. Then search for videos and start watching.

• VLC or NOVA Player

  • Really good MP3/MP4 players.

• ProtonVPN:

  • Hide your internet traffic from your creepy, data-selling ISP.

• Privacy Browser

• Proton Mail

  • Swiss privacy law protected emails

• Proton Drive

  • Swiss privacy law protected file storage

• OsMand

  • Private, offline Google Maps

• Degoogle Script:

  • Removes most Google bloatware from your devices.

    Reasons to remove Google bloatware

    Google is known for being really privacy-invasive.

    Google wastes most of your device's storage.

    Almost all Google apps can be easily replaced with F-Droid alternatives.

    Bonus: this makes old phones run much faster!

  Degoogling Instructions

  1. Install ADB on your laptop

  2. Enable USB Debugging

  3. Plug your phone into your laptop and hit "allow usb debugging"

  4. Make sure you have F-Droid, AnySoftKeyboard, Clipious, and Privacy Browser installed before you do this

  5. Paste this into a terminal
