Note: I prefer Apple over Google and I’m not ready to go full privacy-hardened, I want to find a balance between convenience and privacy protection.
So I’m moving from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly because I despise Google. Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I’m at it.
What I’m planning so far:
- Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
- DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
- Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on
Where I’m stuck:
-
What about YouTube? Just use the web version?
-
Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?
-
Best way to store photos that aren’t big greedy corps?
Questions:
-
Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?
-
Settings I should change immediately out of the box?
-
Services I’m forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?
You make a good point tbh
You can install Firefox from App Store and install some tracker blocking addons like ublock and privacy badger. Even sponsor block is available on Firefox mobile.
i thought firefox add-ons were pc/android only?
AdGuard works with the web version.
Picture in Picture extension can force the YouTube Picture in Picture too.
It’s beaten only by the YouTube app with YouTube premium.
