I switched to firefox a year ago. Its a little slower, but im a lot happier.
Ive been trying to degoogle as much as reasonable. I moved to fastmail as well. Still using an android, but would switch if a reasonable alternative that wasnt iphone came up. Im not paranoid or a privacy nut, just think google is too involved in my life.
- Midnightas 8y agoMaybe try an Android derivative? One tailored for privacy? I've heard of LineageOS, it's marketed as privacy-friendly.
- saintPirelli 8y agoSame here. Have you found any viable alternative to the Google Calendar? I'm at the point where I'm thinking about hosting a calendar project from GitHub myself.
- nielsole 8y agoThe calendar of Fastmail works. It's not great, but it does the job
- kwk1 8y agoNextcloud, whether self-hosted or otherwise, works great! It's just WebDAV. You can get calendar, contacts, task, and note syncing, and it can even host your documents for reference management software like Zotero.
- jlpom 8y agoIf you own a Samsung phone, the calendar app is good. I wonder if you can install those Samsung apps (which for some are just forks of unmaintained AOSP apps) on a regular Android if you somehow get the apk.
- jrnichols 8y agoAre people still considering smaller, local ISPs for email? Or are there even enough of those to consider?
- bb101 8y agoI was in exactly the same camp as you a year ago. Then I played with a hand-me-down iPhone 6s and couldn't believe how much more pleasant it was to use iOS than to use Android (Nougat at the time). Having owned an iPhone 3G and 5, my memories were of a restrictive OS and a dumb Siri but both have really has come along since. I made the switch and can't imagine going back to Android now.
