A newpipe fork with more platform options (write up NOT mine, taken from original post):
BraveNewPipe
A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android
Due to restrictive project policy, the #NewPipe team refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BraveNewPipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.
Nevertheless, platforms that promote pornography or other degrading things will NOT be included here.
Contribute
This fork will focus only on integrating other platforms. Unrelated patches will be rejected for now.
Feel free to suggest which alternative platforms should be included. Any contribution (development/testing/bug report) is greatly appreciated.
Which additional platforms are supported?
Bitchute
Rumble
Other features not found in NewPipe
-NewPipe x Sponsorblock into this fork
-searchfilters: in the action menu of the search page you can now change the search behavior for the actual search. The supported content/sort filters depend on the service

What do they mean by platforms they find offensive?
Not sure but they did specify porn sites so I would assume things like that, not so much standard video platforms.
The exact wording 'porn and other degrading sites'. But they havr those 'evil' platforms rumble and bitchute so I think its safe to assume what they mean
Presearch.com unless they went to the privacy darkside since I started using. Quality search results regardless
SimpleLogin for email proxies
Aegis authenticator intead of google sughenticator
Bitwarden/Vaultwarden can also do 2fa - but i think Bitwarden locked it into a paid plan...?
SimpleLogin and AnonAddy are live-savers!
Magic Earth as maps alternative; uses OSM data but better UX
Mobile browsers
Firefox forks
Mull, Fenec, Focus
Chromium forks
Mulch, Bromite, Chromite
Nice list.
Last time I checked Keet isn't open source.
Unless they changed that recently. It's one big criticism I always see rightfully lobbed against them. Holepunch, the protocol they use, is though I believe.
True. Keet will be open sourcing but isn't yet.
For the office apps there is also Libre Office.
kagi.com search is bretty gud too
DeFacebook
DeApple
DeAmazon
DeNetflix
DeGoogle
De FAANG the state.

Funny how only degoogles phone is from Google...
And no one seems concerned about it, as if google dont know and dont make sure with kinda hardware-trojan-horse to get on your phone🤔🤷♂️
As if that cant happen with literally every phone.
Well that's just not true. Lineage and Divest can load on many dfferent brands
What about /e/ OS as degoogled android and duckduckgo for search? Anything disqualified them?
Duckduckgo is Microsoft servers and third party JavaScript linking back from clicked links to them.
/e is ok but weaker against hacks than graphene
omnivore.app giving this a look
Minds?
Minds is a Twitter or nostr alt. But their coin is lame and pointless in my opinion. You have to do layer 1 ETH fees for each ad boost
Realized after my comment, it's not a google service replacement. I thought it was pretty cool though. Can you post videos on Nostr?
isn't Brave built on Chromium?
Yeah but telemetry removed
@umbrel is running a cyber Monday sale on their Umbrel Home or @Start9 is also an amazing option. These make it very easy to use private options listed above at any tech skill level.
I like magic earth for maps and navigation. But I'm curious if there's a privacy risk using Google maps if there's no account signed in?
Bitchute, as _gootube_ alt=

Great list.
CryptPad (cryptpad.fr) as a replacement for Google Docs. Can also be self hosted.
How do you integrate searxng with farside.link?
Google Calendar: Proton Calendar, Simple Calendar Pro
Google Drive: Proton Drive
Google Auth: Aegis
Thanks for the tips.
I already use a lot of them, but DeepL I didn't know. Straight away I'm never going to use Google translate again.
I like Keet, not ready yet but very promising
Cryptpad as a gdocs alternative
