  • there is no such “better” alternative. how could we compare a company that has been digging up their user data and built something with it, vs some community or even a solo developer who build something out of nowhere without collecting or selling data?

    but, what are the alternative?

    Google Maps

    • OpenStreetMap, is not as complete as Google Map, the amount of places won’t be the same. but it’s enough to help you navigating from a district to another district, and use much lower resource too

    YouTube

    • Odysee, couldn’t explain, think of it like YouTube
    • Rumble, couldn’t explain, think of it like YouTube
    • PeerTube, a fediverse software where you can upload videos and do livestream, you own your data
    • Piped, NewPipe, PipePipe, Invidious are just alternative frontend for YouTube, its good if you are watching an exclusive content from their platform. But why do we keep letting YouTube has our data?

    Google Search

    wow, really?

    1. DuckDuckGo, controversial, but enough
    2. Brave Search, controversial, honestly aint using it
    3. Searx, host it yourself, you own your data

    and hey, why didn’t you mention about the browser, mails, and many more? There is firefox, tuta, and much more.
