I keep one on my devices at most times anyway so that is no problem. I have no intention of leaving. Not for a while anyway

Ah crap. Im from the uk. This sucks. But i get its not your fault.

I only access this from Boost For Lemmy app but i suspect it will still fail to load data regardless.

I wonder would a vpn work? In theory it should.

This is what i need so i can finally delete facebook but unfortunately this is too early and small with nothing piblically uk based and no one looking at it so things would never sell.

Whats pixelfed all about? Im only now hearing about it.

I tried Searxng but it just wasnt giving good results at all. And lacked far too many features of a modern search engine imo.

The thing is you kinda have to trust the word of all companies with how they collect your data and how they monetise themselves. I still think startpage is one of the best alternatives for privacy. Also my adblockers seem to work fine on startpage's ad links so i dont see them.

Have you considered StartPage ?

It returns google results whilst stripping of all google tracking and does not track itself either.

I was considering tutanota but it felt too small and lacking some features that proton seemed better for. I may look at it again.

I cannot move from simple login though. I bought a lifetime plan which also includes proton pass and i use simple login extensively now.

I do use a custom domain but not for most things which i use simple login domains. My custom domain uses my full name and i dont want that associated with some random newsletter or game company etc. But important services are on my custom domain so not the end of the world and can change them all. I dont know who could replace simple login though.

Ffs. I just switched a ton of stuff over to proton. Hopefully this is an individuals view and not that of the company as a whole.
