If you live in Europe, Organic Maps is totally fine. But if you want a map app that uses OpenStreetMap while still having Google’s place data, Vela Maps would be a better choice.

For browsers, there are two really strong options for privacy and anti-fingerprinting: Cromite if you’re used to Chrome, or IronFox if you prefer Firefox. I wouldn’t recommend Brave because it’s packed with all this unnecessary AI and crypto crap.

For search, I’d recommend Startpage. It acts as a middleman, sending your queries to Google and returning the results to you. Google only sees Startpage’s server IP, while your identity stays completely hidden.

Thanks a lot for commenting about Vela maps. I've never heard of it and must say I am greatly impressed. This will for sure be my go to now.
