My website has grown to 20 categories.

Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?

(I've noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)

I've added the controversial topic of AI chatbots. While I think there can't be truly sustainable options, I think it makes a difference whether you enter your prompts on privacy-threatening, intentionally biased and military supporting providers or with providers who adhere to rules regarding fair use of AI and privacy.

What about self hosted options for some of these categories? For search you could do SearXNG, for music streaming plexamp, jellyfin, navidrome. Maps I’d add Gnome Maps (openstreetmap) for desktop and tablet use, obviously not a great choice for phones.

Cmaps is good. I also have Magic Earth, but it's not free in some cases. I have it on e/OS, so it comes preinstallwd and free. Cmaps is my favorite though.
