Tech Alternatives

Consider using alternative software and tech platforms to help:

  • Increase your privacy – all major tech companies like Google, Facebook and others collect massive amount of your personal data including all the sites you visit, social media posts you make, products you buy online etc. This is especially true if you use a browser like Chrome
  • Speeding up your Web experience by reducing amount of stuff that gets downloaded with a web page that serves no other purpose than to facilitate use behavior tracking and advertising delivery
  • Reduce annoying ads that clutter social media posts and websites
  • Force major tech platform to recognize the importance of privacy by introducing more competition
  • Get in early on the next big tech and get a cool username
  • Get better deals on online purchases by shopping around. For example, Amazon is really not the best place to buy a lot of products especially big purchases like TVs and electronics. Many other sites offer fast free shipping as well.
