DivestOS is the only privacy focused OS in that list.

LineageOS’ goal is extend software support for Android phones, and /e/OS is designed for the Fair Phone. Privacy isn’t the goal, and LineageOS still phones home to Google for most things.

My knowledge here isn’t perfect, but I learned a lot from this discussion on the Privacy Guides forum.

You might find this chart to be helpful as well.

I’d personally go the route of getting a new phone number and a new email address.

If she needs for people to be able to reach her at her current number, I’d restrict it to people in her contacts

Even if you manage to pull the information from people search websites, her info is still out there. I’d also avoid giving out the new phone and email as much as possible.

DolphinMath ,

Podverse is a solid choice. It’s also cross-platform if that matters to you. Antenna-pod is another good choice.

Is this accurate? Last I recall, the F-droid version was free of any of Google’s tracking?

DolphinMath ,

Check out Mullvad Browser. It’s created in partnership with the Tor Browser, but optimized to be used for the Clearnet. You don’t need to use Mullvad’s VPN with it either.

Huh, TIL.

My small concern with Librewolf is getting security updates quickly. Cool project though. As I understand, the team has been better about quickly patching security vulnerabilities in recently months too.

“Aren’t the exact same” is a huge understatement…

DolphinMath OP ,

The issue is typically one of strength, contamination, and overall effect. Ignoring chemical differences and impurities, it’s like giving Fentanyl to someone expecting Oxycodone.

DolphinMath OP ,

Indistinguishable no, but both are stimulants approved to treat ADHD and have similar effects.

If the dose is adjusted, fentanyl has a similar effect to oxycodone as well.

DolphinMath OP ,

Haha, no bot at this time. Just me copying and pasting in a template. Maybe one day if I get better at coding.

DolphinMath OP ,

Seems to be one of many from what I’ve read.

DolphinMath ,

Cryptee is one that comes to mind.

DolphinMath ,

Beyond that, the money is still going to Google, Yandex, Brave, Bing etc via API payments. If they actually created their own search engine that was any good I’d be more inclined to pay for access.

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.html

Edit: They do claim to have their own small indexes (Teclis and TinyGem) that they sell API access to, but I’m doubtful it adds significant value.

DolphinMath ,

Another independent search company with its own index is great. Repackaging Bing and Google isn’t good enough. I’d be cautious with their privacy claims though.

I’m stuck on Joplin personally, but have you taken a look at Standard Notes? I think it checks all your boxes.

Would an encrypted backup using something like Crytomator or Rsync fit your needs? It would allow you to use the cheaper cloud services without letting them see the content of your files.

Proton Drive is another good option.
