The one feature that I really liked that's still in chromium other than Google cast is still Web Apps.
I like to be able to make a desktop application out of a web page. Firefox has this feature with PRISM a while back. Did it ever come back?
While I agree on this, I think Ungoogled Chromium could be a soft way to degoogle yourself while maybe looking for complete replacements. It took me almost 2 weeks to degoogle me almost totally, at the beginning having a minimum of compatibility is nice
The only Google thing holding me back from full degoogling is YouTube, but with how garbage the platform is becoming, especially with the algorithm just going berserk and it probably not being long until I start being affected by the adblock-block, I think moving away from it is only going to be easier than ever before.
serious question: what do for email if you've been a gmail user for .... (checks notes) ... almost 20 years? self hosted?
honest question. I'm interested, but really have no idea what my options are when I've had the same email address for half my life / all of my adult life.
Proton Mail as others have suggested is the easy and privacy friendly solution, and probably set an auto forwarding rule from your gmail account to your new Proton Mail.
Otherwise I haven't self hosted my own email but from my previous attempts it seemed like it's quite involved
Or just use Firefox...?
Firefox main since 2020. Love it.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
