… And damm it feels good! Before starting this step, I had to migrate to a better browser that respects privacy (Brave, because🖕Firefox, I mean Mozilla at this point doesn’t even want you to be safe on the web anymore!) And a better “Google-style” ecosystem (Proton is the best they have an email service, a calendar, a password manager and the holy drive).

The last step was YouTube. How to do without a Google account? Well, thanks to Piped + Yattee, the best combo I had a hard time finding. For those who do not know, Yattee is a great app that is an interface for Piped on Apple devices, besides, do you consider Apple to be respectful of privacy? Me yes 👍

In short, today I am the happiest of men 🤩. If you wonder which search engine I use instead of Google, it’s Qwant, because, even if they use Bing’s API like DuckDuckGo, they work on their own index and they even start putting a little AI in their search engine, which doesn’t tell the user to eat non-toxic glue of course 😉. They also made an excellent redesign.
