# Useful software I like
|
|
|
|
Moving away from BigTech is not an easy task. However, in these days, there are plenty polished
|
|
alternatives out there. Over the years I tried out many different services and software. I will
|
|
present what worked best for me here.
|
|
|
|
A very encompassing resource I am recommending is [PrivacyGuides](https://www.privacyguides.org/).
|
|
However, their recommendations are at times rather purist. Everyone should use whatever works best for them.
|
|
Privacy is not a black-and-white game.
