A newpipe fork with more platform options (write up NOT mine, taken from original post):

BraveNewPipe

A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android

Due to restrictive project policy, the #NewPipe team refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BraveNewPipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.

Nevertheless, platforms that promote pornography or other degrading things will NOT be included here.

Contribute

This fork will focus only on integrating other platforms. Unrelated patches will be rejected for now.

Feel free to suggest which alternative platforms should be included. Any contribution (development/testing/bug report) is greatly appreciated.

Which additional platforms are supported?

Bitchute

Rumble

Other features not found in NewPipe

-NewPipe x Sponsorblock into this fork

-searchfilters: in the action menu of the search page you can now change the search behavior for the actual search. The supported content/sort filters depend on the service

What do they mean by platforms they find offensive?

Not sure but they did specify porn sites so I would assume things like that, not so much standard video platforms.

The exact wording 'porn and other degrading sites'. But they havr those 'evil' platforms rumble and bitchute so I think its safe to assume what they mean

Presearch.com unless they went to the privacy darkside since I started using. Quality search results regardless

SimpleLogin for email proxies

Aegis authenticator intead of google sughenticator

Bitwarden/Vaultwarden can also do 2fa - but i think Bitwarden locked it into a paid plan...?

SimpleLogin and AnonAddy are live-savers!

Magic Earth as maps alternative; uses OSM data but better UX

👀

Nope, LBRY Inc. (the company that created the LBRY protocol) is done. The LBRY protocol is decentralized and still works. It will only stop working if people stop mining, running nodes, and hosting content.

Here is an onion instance of LBRY that uses only the P2P network for the content: http://ryhs2pyzf6kvzpxv3xbcscaukf2ez4ixbbyk7ewzmj6gxqvmt65sqnyd.onion/

Odysee is/was a convenient front-end for LBRY, but it was sold at auction. Not sure who bought it/what the future plans are for it.

Thought you were referring to the platform itself

It's not a platform, it's a protocol. There is a desktop application to interact with it, and since it's all p2p and decentralized it can't be shut down. :)

Whatever dude. Im not arguing over semantics.

The desktop Linux lbry client didn't work for me. You got it to run?

I'm new-ish to Linux (have had to keep Windows for the Adobe software). I know the Windows client works well:

Mobile browsers

Firefox forks

Mull, Fenec, Focus

Chromium forks

Mulch, Bromite, Chromite

Nice list.

Last time I checked Keet isn't open source.

Unless they changed that recently. It's one big criticism I always see rightfully lobbed against them. Holepunch, the protocol they use, is though I believe.

True. Keet will be open sourcing but isn't yet.

👀 👀 👀

For the office apps there is also Libre Office.

kagi.com search is bretty gud too

Love this

Funny how only degoogles phone is from Google...

And no one seems concerned about it, as if google dont know and dont make sure with kinda hardware-trojan-horse to get on your phone🤔🤷‍♂️

As if that cant happen with literally every phone.

Well that's just not true. Lineage and Divest can load on many dfferent brands

What about /e/ OS as degoogled android and duckduckgo for search? Anything disqualified them?

Duckduckgo is Microsoft servers and third party JavaScript linking back from clicked links to them.

/e is ok but weaker against hacks than graphene

You can buy fully de-googled mobile phones running on /e/OS an open-source OS with no Google apps or Google services harvesting your data from Murena. They are also compatible with Graphene OS.

Google Pay:

Monero 😇

Minds?

Minds is a Twitter or nostr alt. But their coin is lame and pointless in my opinion. You have to do layer 1 ETH fees for each ad boost

isn't Brave built on Chromium?

Yeah but telemetry removed

I like magic earth for maps and navigation. But I'm curious if there's a privacy risk using Google maps if there's no account signed in?

Bitchute, as _gootube_ alt=

Great list.

CryptPad (cryptpad.fr) as a replacement for Google Docs. Can also be self hosted.

Yess!

How do you integrate searxng with farside.link?

OpenStreetMap.org

Google Calendar: Proton Calendar, Simple Calendar Pro

Google Drive: Proton Drive

Google Auth: Aegis

minifree.org

Thanks for the tips.

I already use a lot of them, but DeepL I didn't know. Straight away I'm never going to use Google translate again.

I like Keet, not ready yet but very promising

Cryptpad as a gdocs alternative

hii also include cromite the replacement to bromite a foss replacement to the default chrome on android

say no to free VPN's. use VPN's that accept bitcoin. Mullvad, IVPN.
