I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible (lemmy.ml)

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:

Site - https://purchasewithpurpose.io/
Code - https://codeberg.org/purchase-with-purpose/pwp-website
Community - https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose

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!

Probably because it's another browser based on Chromium.

That's not a justification to make it closed source. Brave is open source and based on chromium.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

That does not help, but is a side matter.
