I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

    I stopped looking at it after initial glance, seeing the top line, the browsers.

    Vivaldi?

    Really.

    No.

      what’s wrong with vivaldi? they’re european. they have zero ai in their browser. and they’re one of the few browser with a build in ad/tracker blocker that supports adblock filters.

          what’s wrong with vivaldi

          it’s proprietary/closed-source

          And thus cannot readily be audited.

          And thus attracts malarchy and malware being put in it.

          Fully free software or gtfo.

            Yup. Or any of many other examples, all the way to qutebrowser.

          That does not help, but is a side matter.
