Amazingly how similar my path is to Aaron’s. I use paid for Google services (GCP, buy lots of movies and books) but I have mostly moved to DDG, combination of FastMail and ProtonMail, (sort of) trust Apple walled garden, and rely heavily on FireFox containers to separate data for all web properties that I visit and use.
I do still use Google Photos and Microsoft OneDrive for secondary backups for my photos on iCloud (my iPhone auto exports to all three when I am on WiFi) and I sometimes use Google Search in a FireFox container (I use one container for all Google web properties).
Respect to Aaron for running his own email service. I think about doing that but never do. My problem is that I enjoy spending time writing, and designing and writing code, and I don’t make time for some things that I would like to try. Time management is a pain sometimes.
EDIT: something I forgot to add: when following a web link, copy the URI and then open the appropriate FireFox container for the domain and copy the URI to a new tab in the correct container. Good hygiene.
- geekgonecrazy 7y agoright click->Open Link in New Container Tab is great! Can easily pick which container to put it in. Email was the hardest for me. But felt the most freeing also.
