The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options!

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

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.

    Web:

    • add LibreFox because it’s the most paranoid out of the box, and it’s good

    Email:

    • Fastmail should be removed. They have the best UI ever, but their servers are still in the USA and they don’t have any E2E encryption
    • I don’t see Posteo here: https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/email/, it should be added (if that’s you)

    Passwords:

    • 1password had a few controversies in the past, I would never use it

    Search:

    • Qwant sucks, that’s all, they have sucked since the beginning
    • add Searx https://metasearx.com/ which could be good for some people

    Music:

    • Deezer hates VPN, I don’t know how you could show that but it drove me away

      1password had a few controversies in the past, I would never use it

      Can you link to the controversies?

      All I see is that people download unrelated malware, which obviously gives access to everything on the system.
