After further inspection, I would recommend Joplin for most private

Maybe omni focus?

Maybe a Joplin? Sorry this is a kinda half arsed andwer I’ll be back with a better one in a mo

Oh maybe it’s different? But when I go to windows I takes me to the Microsoft store and it’s 13£

But this isn’t using brave?

[–] lopar49@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

hiya, when i try and download it from windows, it is paid. When I try and use it online I have to request a demo. What am I doing wrong

How come? You can swap to google, but google is bad with censorship. I would have said braves index is the best independent index (other than google). Main reason I won’t use brave is it not being open source search engine. With this I get best of both worlds.

I get that but I’m honestly not that fussed about features or index’s 99 times out of 100 my search is just a simple one to find a specific website or news article

Was this during beta?

 

This is pretty much a. Follow up to my post yesterday and was wondering which search engine to use, I’m leaning stlightly towards mullvad as it is a more reputable and they get their results exclusively from braves index but 4get is open source and has an official instance.

I am open to any suggestions or to add an services I missed! Suggestions are especially welcome on services with less than three current options

 

Is so lacking of good options and just wrong sometimes. Like for cloud storage the inly opition is proton mail??? ( not even proton drive) when there is filen and kerogen and others

 

Google chrome Gmail Google drive ChromeOS Android Google lens Google photos Google docs Google slides

 

But no proton or libre office. Let’s uncover some hidden gems

I’m stuck with what to choose. I prioritise speed and privacy

I guess i'm doing pros and cons for all of them now:

Startpage Pros - uses google's search results and anonymous view, eu based Cons - Bought my an ad company

Qwant Pros - eu based Cons - lots of ads, sometimes a bug where it is in france

DDG pros - faster than the other two, Cons - https://techrights.org/o/2020/07/02/ddg-privacy-abuser-in-disguise/
