Software recommendations discussion
Discuss software recommendations. I locked it as I don't want it to be messy and hard to consume. Feel free to say anything here regarding that thread.
A few commented before I locked it. Apologies. My mistake, I wasn't quick enough :).

"F-droid instead of playstore. As a source for applications
Fairmail/ k-9 instead of gmail. As an email clients"
I'm not familiar with Fairmail or k-9. Can you give a little more info on them. I think usually proton mail and tutanota are commonly advocated (https://lemmy.ml/post/2274183).
I've been degoogled for a little bit over a year now and here's what I use (disclaimer: I own a NAS / homserver, so I got a little bit more options than most people would).
- Android OS: /e/OS
- Browser: Firefox and Bromite
- Maps: Organic Maps
- Play Store: F-Droid (droidify client in my case) and App Lounge.
- YouTube: Libretube (privacy-friendly YouTube client)
- Translation: DeepL
- Movies, TV Shows, Music: self-hosted Jellyfin
- Automatic backup of my images and videos: self-hosted Immich
- VPN server: self-hosted Wireguard server
- Document management: self-hosted Nextcloud Office + LibreOffice on my PC
- E-Mail service: ProtonMail (self-hosting this is a pain in the ass, so I'll just leave it to experts)
- Search engine: DuckDuckGo
Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world for tons of stuff on self-hosting services and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/ for a lot of other good alternatives.
Bromite is a terrible idea. It's 9 months out of date and it isn't maintained anymore. It's superceded by Cromite.

It's a fork of Chromium, so Google will add it. They'll have to specifically remove it.
Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.
The CEO can say what he wants, but it doesn't affect whether companies will roll this out. Google can not be trusted to drive web standards, and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.
