I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I’ve done over the last month or so.
- Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
- re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
- Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
- Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
- Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
- Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
- Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
- Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
- Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.
It’s been a ride and I’m open to other suggestions and guides.
I second that you use Librewolf, which is a hardened fork of Firefox.
But beware of using any recent firefox, zen, and librewolf packages from the AUR. They supposedly contain malware.
How do you know? I probably got my latest Librewolf from AUR. Thanks for letting us know!
It was news. Also, I think the malware package was included additionally to the normal package. They just changed the name by including “patch”, " fix", etc.
Other packages like MS fonts, Google chrome were also infected the same way.
