To add to this, I suggest sorting the comments by controversial on Reddit for another take.

One point for Brave, is that they have specifically said they will continue to support Manifest v2 in their browser.

What system are you on that Firefox is laggy? I’ve had no real issues on Windows, Mac, or Linux in the past few years.

Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo is just Bing with additional privacy these days. Effectively is is what Startpage is for Google.

Brave Search is one of the only independent search indexes available these days. Others include Mojeek and Qwant, but neither are as good as Brave Search.

You can with Firefox Focus! Though to be clear, safari with AdGuard is much better. Even better when used together NextDNS and the HaGaZi blocklist.

Just started with using Lunatask to help keep myself on task, and help me remember a lot of the little things I tend to forget. I’m still learning what the app is fully capable of, but it’s been super helpful to me so far.

It is an end-to-end encrypted, cross-platform, todo list, notebook, habit and mood tracker, and journaling app built with ADHD brains in mind. The creator has also expressed some willingness to open source in the future, but there is no guarantees there.

Hey! I wrote up a list of Open Source iOS apps on the Privacy Guides community.
