Kagi + Perplexity Pro + Proton Mail + Threema + Hushed + Firefox + Proton VPN + Bitwarden + AdGuard
Using the Greycoder setup boosts security, privacy, and customization. It does this by reducing tracking and blocking ads and malware. It also encrypts communications and gives you control over your data. It is one of the most robust consumer-grade stacks available.
Key improvements over commonly used substitutes:
- Security:
- Strong password management (Bitwarden), encrypted email (Proton Mail), and secure messaging (Threema) reduce the risk of breaches and unauthorized access.
- ProtonVPN and AdGuard further shield against network attacks and malicious ads.
- Privacy:
- Kagi and Firefox prevent search and browsing data from being logged or sold, unlike Google or Bing.
- Hushed and Proton Mail keep phone and email metadata private, while AdGuard blocks trackers and fingerprinting scripts.
- Customization:
- Kagi and Perplexity allow for personalized search and AI experiences without intrusive profiling.
- Firefox’s open ecosystem and enable tailored privacy controls not possible on Chrome or Safari.
