Here are my recommended greycoding services. I’ve favored services that don’t require deep technical knowledge.
Adguard is the most sophisticated ad-blocker available. You can use it on all devices.
For a reliable VPN check out ProtonVPN.
ProtonMail is a good encrypted email provider. Combine it with SimpleLogin (for email aliases).
Bitwarden is an open-source cloud for passwords and secure notes.
Sync is a fully encrypted cloud provider — however, the apps are not as fully featured as pCloud. This is inevitable to some extent since everything is encrypted.
Privacy.Com is a service that allows you to make online payments using virtual cards instead of your physical payment card information. A similar service in Europe is Revolut Premium.
MediaHuman YouTube Downloader is a good video downloading app.
Newsdemon is a good Usenet provider. You can use it with NZB.SU (index) and SabNZBd (downloader). Once your media is downloaded you can use Plex as a media manager.
1337x.to is a good torrent index.
Mastodon is a Twitter replacement that is community-owned and ad-free.
Do you know of any Privacy.com alternatives for those outside the US?
Revolut premium is supposed to allow for virtual credit card creation.
So glad one thing lead to another and \i found your site.
Thanks for all this!
Cheers!
