We have no marketing budget and are trying to get as many people away from Big Tech surveillance as possible. Please share this link with friends and family, and on social media.

It contains a full link index of all our Alternatives pages, as well as links to our Big Tech Walkout programme, and a Quick Start section for those who just want to grab the top choices.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments.

Our main aim is getting large numbers of people away from the main big tech companies. We're less bothered about precisely which alternatives they choose, just that they do make a move.

For the comments about Vivaldi - their anti-surveillance and anti-AI stance, coupled with their great functionality, makes them a perfect off-ramp from big tech browsers. We're aware that there are hardened browsers with even more privacy, but they can be restrictive - certain sites not opening - and right there you've lost a bunch of people who aren't ready for that kind of trade off (yet).

Our focus is trying to convince those who really don't care about privacy, that there is a larger problem created by ad surveillance. It's a tough sell. Probably I'm too far gone to explain at that level. All suggestions welcome!
