I created an infographic of privacy-forward alternatives to Google products…and would love your feedback.

Is it easy to use? Enough white space? Intuitive? Sharable? Is there anything I’m missing?

The infographic image in this post is NOT clickable. The link above will give you a downloadable PDF with working hyperlinks.

Re: the legend, “easy set-up/use” means either that this is a big part of the alternative product’s branding, or I’ve used it myself and found it easy.

        If you dont torrent often you probably arent really needing port forwarding. I use mullvad and i torrent things all the time with zero issues.

        How is mailbox? I just recently got proton set up with my custom domain and I kind of like it to be honest and their app is nice too.

          ETA: I thought you meant how do I like the Proton mailbox@! :D

          I like it. The only issue for me is that the search is slow, but that’s because they have to compile all your data first…as opposed to Gmail, which already and always has access.

          Another plus of Proton Mail is their masked email app. When I go to a site that asks me to enter an email, the app can create a masked email for me on the fly.

      I know there has been some political controversy around them lately, and that for email Tuta is recommended over Proton Mail—I do mention both of these facts in DISENGAGE: Opting Out—and Finding New Options—to Reclaim Your Life from Spammers, Scammers, Intrusive Marketers and Big Tech, which I’m trying to promote through the infographic. But overall I’ve been happy with Proton’s suite of products as compared to the relevant Google products.
