Hi, mates!
So, I’ve been searching replacement for Google search, Chrome, and Gmail. As a hacker, I’m concerned about my privacy and I’m really tired of all the ads and tracking by Google. As you may know, Google collects and analyzes a lot of data about us. So, it is very easy to find a replacement for Google search and Chrome.
The alternative of Google search (and Bing/Yahoo):
1) Duckduckgo.com
2) Startpage.com
Both of them do not show ads nor do they collect user data.
Alternatives to Chrome:
Mozilla Firefox (You can customize the data collected by Firefox)
Tor Browser (no introduction needed)
But for Gmail alternatives, I had to work hard to find them. So the alternatives I found are, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Mailfence
2. ProtonMail
3. Tutanota
4. Posteo.de
5. Kolab Now
6. Countermail
So, why is Protonmail good for hackers and other people who are concerned about their privacy?
Swiss PrivacyEnd-to-End EncryptionAnonymous EmailAND, ProtonMail hosts its servers in Switzerland, so all user data is protected by strict Swiss privacy laws.
You can also send an email to people who are using Gmail, Hotmail etc. More information can be found here: https://protonmail.com/
Note: It is free, but you can also upgrade to premium to support the developers.
If you need a very high level of privacy in your email, all the above services have good reputations when it comes to protecting your data. Part of the reason they’re so great is that even if governments did want to snoop on you for whatever reason, and the companies did have to hand over information, it would be virtually impossible to break through their encryption systems.
If you know more about this. Please do share in the comments!
CHEERS 😀
