Here is my list, 15 out of 17 (while 2 are not applicable because I don't use anything like that):
I'm not sure if DuckDuckGo and TMap count because they're both just alternatives but still from big tech.
Hmm, I wonder...does "my favourite pirate streaming service" count as avoiding big tech?
I just tried Stremio and found it to be hot garbage. I'll stick with torrents/Jellyfin.
You didn't try it right then. Stremio by itself is useless. You need to get add-ons like Torrentio and have a debrid service like TorBox to make best use of it. While not ideal, it's better than paying hundreds for multiple streaming services/cable/satellite etc.
