	my favourite alternatives 
	to common products/services
          
          
-------------------------------------------         
Easy changes to make are choosing Free Open 
Source Software, instead of corporate owned
“free” services like those offered by google
make YOU and your data the product. Just by
simply degoogling your life you can make a
tremendous difference. 
-------------------------------------------

-----computer------------------------------
1. Use an open source OS such as a linux/unix
distribution
	[Fedora, Debian, freeBSD]
2. Open source bootloader [loads the OS]
	[such as libreBoot]
	[intel/AMD were made to include back-
	doors for the NSA, called the Intel 
	Management Engine. It allows remote 
	access to your machine, and it can't
	be disabled. I have no doubt chips 
	made in China have similar features
	but for the Chinese government 
	instead of America.
3. End to End, encrypted email.
	Proton seemed to be good, but they 
	have faced some recent criticisms.
4.a Privacy oriented browser.
	Brave, librewolf
4.b browser extensions
	privacy badger, uBlock origin, canvas
	blocker for anti-fingerprinting/tracking
4.c search engine
	duckduckgo instead of google.com
5.a VPN – Virtual Private Network
	Mullvad
5.b Secure DNS – Domain Name System
	Mullvad - base (ad/tracker/virus blocking): 
	IPv4: 194.242.2.4
	IPv6: 2a07:e340: :4
	DNS over TLS: base.dns.mullvad.net
	DNS over HTTPS: https://base.dns.mullvad
		.net/dns-query
				

-----phone---------------------------------
1. Open source OS such as GrapheneOS
2. Browser, same as computer. Choose privacy 
	oriented 
3. End-to-End encryption messaging apps like 
	Signal. And not the default Google 
	text messaging app

-----public wifi----------------------------
Notoriously unsecure. Do not browse without a VPN
