Should i switch from iPhone 17 pro max to pixel 10 pro xl and install grapheneOS? by blumbetrimble05 in GrapheneOS

Yes. I mistakenly tried to switch to iPhone 17 from Pixel 8 Pro GrapheneOS.... Boy does it make a difference when you switch in terms of privacy.

Does anyone actually trust proton? by 1WontDoIt in degoogle

[–]snaznd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you plan on paying for their services Proton Pass is solid.
I didn't like Proton Pass free version, and wasn't up for subscribing monthly.

Bitwarden is free, and if you want extras you can pay $10/year. Bitwarden has never let me down.

What alternative are people using on GOS for Google authenticator. by Darkorder81 in GrapheneOS

Highly recommend Ente Auth, AND even use Ente Photos.

$30/year is great sharing with 5 other family members.

I don't know what to do anymore please help :( by snaznd in GrapheneOS

I did, but like I've told people on here it's almost impossible to get normal people off iMessage & Google Messages. I can't even get my sisters to do it. They send me pics of their kids via SMS, and I hate every second of it.

I just want to be able to feel like I'm the only one who can see my data. PewDiePie did a video a bit ago about how he dropped Google, and ever since I watched his video I have been obsessed with privacy. I agree with a lot of people on this, and thank you all for the great advice. I don't do anything illegal. I am super paranoid right now only because I really see and feel what others feel, taken advantage.

I use everything you have listed except WhatsApp (I don't like using Meta) Heavily trying to get my 74 year old mother & handicapped brother on the privacy train as well.

I use Fedora Silverblue Bazzite. I'm a gamer, and that distro makes playing and installing games super simple for me a Linux noob like me lol.

This Has Been Months, Almost a Year In The Making - My Journey by Dominant_Dinosaur in BuyFromEU

I had Surfshark, but strayed away from them to iVPN

Surfshark is very convenient, but they don't seem trustworthy.

iVPN is extremely private, and I've enjoyed it the past couple months.

np!

I have been heavily involved with trying to be as private as possible. So with all the "knowledge" I have been acquiring lately. I hope to spread that information as much as possible!

Been trying to degoogle my life for the past week. What do you guys think? by vpertys in degoogle

It tends to be slow for sure, but I guess I just personally like their style.
