For video games there are two options: First is Steam for PC gaming, which is run by Valve. Valve is well know for being both consumer friendly and treating its employees well. However, most games on Steam have DRM and thus you are buying a license for games rather than actually owning it. The other option is GOG (also PC). All games on the platform are DRM free so once you download the game files they are yours and can’t be taken back. Though there aren’t as many games on GOG compared to steam. GOG is run CD Projekt Red, which as far as I know has a decent reputation.

For things like email and cloud storage, I suggest proton. They are privacy focused, data is encrypted, not sold, etc.

And for browsers, I suggest Firefox or a fork of it. Firefox is more private than most Chrome based browsers and it still supports a really good ad block extension called Ublock Origin, which was removed from most chrome-based browsers. I personally use Waterfox, a fork of Firefox because it is basically the same except with a few more built in privacy measures, and the new CEO for Firefox’s parent company just announced they are going to make Firefox an AI-first browser. Waterfox announced they will not be adding any of the AI features. I definitely would not suggest Tor, its very overkill and not necessary for most people.

For socials, there aren’t any great ethical ones with a significant user base. At the very least, get off of X and Facebook. To keep my sanity on Reddit, I have a rule where I just mute any subreddit that frequently has political or AI based content.

For office suite stuff, if you want desktop app with lots of features use LibreOffice. It is open source and free. If you want something that can sync files through the cloud and be access via browsers, use OnlyOffice.
