In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇
Always try to provide:
-Server location (jurisdiction)
-Governance
-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency
-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)
-Pricing and links
If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

Are you one of those TechLore punks ? Use privacytools
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools/
privacytools is dogshit now, the original owner made it into a promotional VPN shill website and every single contributor, admin, mod, etc from the former privacytools now is under privacyguides
Except PrivacyGuides literally steals (including money) from PrivacyTools & PrivacyTools have made it clear to mark something as promotional
False.
No they absolutely do not, stop being a shill

Clearly false when the VPN page lists NordVPN as the best pick, followed by Surfshark and an and for Incogni at the bottom of the page.
NordVPN is pretty good actually, compared to IVPN You can look up Tom Sparks’s VPN reviews
The guy has integrity
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
deleted by creator
You do know that PT cleary mentions who sponsors them (& PG stole funds & people from PT)<br> Honestly every single TechLore personnel are pretty much liars & thieves & shills(that Aragon guy was the one who stole money)
From https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools/
the pt people voluntarily and unanimously moved to pg
Suuuuuure cuz You said so, The foundations of PG were built on a lie & PT still has the updated info
Suuuuuure cuz You said so
I linked many sources, where are yours? There’s no lies here, Burung was absent from github, the reddit and all the chats for multiple years and now wants them back to delete all the evidence.
Like NordVPN and Surfshark? The same thing PrivacyTools itself warned about promoting in their blog that’s now deleted?
privacytools.io is full of affiliate links and PG has shit tech bro recommendations like Brave browser
Boy I guess PT is not allowed to make money to fund their website It’s way better than leaching from PT & TechLore fans
PrivacyTools has the better more updated content, are you against PT making money ?<br> It’s way better than PG stealing funds from PT
they didn’t.
absolutely yes, the owner is an asshole and the website is shit
Vs PG being actual thieves & liars ? Ok
what did they steal?
Money & subreddit & along with the staff & content (it’s literally copy paste)
That’s called forking an open source project, not to even mention that everyone who wrote the stuff is now on PG
the staff unanimously decided to move
Lies and lies from burung
Not a good reason, techlore fanboy The website is pretty decent & clean & they have a better licencing
You drank the TechLore kool-aid Mistef
what the fuck? Google has a clean website, doesn’t mean I should be using it. The usefulness of the information is what matters, and privacytools ranking ads as “best picks” sure as hell isn’t informative
same as above. Doesn’t matter if they have a better license when everything else is a scam
What ads & what scam ? Disroot ? Picocrypt ?
PG’s Jonah Aragon steal PT’s creator’s funds & his subreddit & censors anyone who mentions it They shill for apple & attack other more reputable privacy youtubers But I guess PT is bad, because you said so😂

🌟lies🌟
can you stop linking that one video which uses “trust me bro” and the privacytools website itself as sources and link some actual verifiable stuff?
I’m never gonna recommend librewolf/mullvad browser/whatever is popular these days to a coworker, even if I daily drive them. Do you know what I did suggest to them, and they actually switched to it from chrome? Brave.
It’s not the best, it’s not the most powerful, but being able to say “it’s chrome but without ads” is a major selling point, especially with non tech savy people who don’t want their cookies cleared on every restart
Nowadays I would recommend Zen Browser + uBO over Brave which has a nice user-friendly UI and supposedly disables telemetry. Before Zen Browser, disabling the crap Brave comes with takes a similar amount of effort as tweaking Librewolf’s aggressive privacy settings, but one of them is actually privacy focused and the other is run by a shady ad crypto company with a shady news feed that keeps pushing Fox News and a homophobic CEO. For mobile there’s Cromite.
Brave is also run by a fascist supporter.
