In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

That’s insane, well I know one thing. This is making me want to go download the DuckDuckGo browser.

In the same week switching to DDG browser and to Lemmy. God dayum I wish there was a good alternative for Gmail.

Protonmail is pretty great!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I switched to protonmail. It's especially good if you have your own domain name like [email protected] because you can tie that to your protonmail account.

I like it a lot so far.

I tried Proton but it's so limited. Fastmail is much better, has free email addresses for masking, and a good (searchable) calendar.
