Free world people
(non USA)
alternatives to:

General rule number -1-

Take care of your Freedom. Choose applications that do not imprison you. Your Applications should work on Linux; MacOS; iOS; Windows; and Android.

Web-Browsing with chrome

While WWW came from Europe (CERN), the browser software is mainly an American affair. We advice Vivaldi from Norway. We hope there will be
a non-Chrome alternative available in the future. We hope they will switch from the Chromium to Servo.org

Mastodon

Youtube

Spotify is becoming a better and better Youtube alternative. We hope Spotify will integrate Mastodon to be able to have a conversation with creators. This would make it more social than Youtube.

Movies

Where to watch movies online on an account + pay per view basis. Not only USA movies but from all over the world?
We desperately need a platform to watch online movies from everywhere based on pay per view. For validating the account authenticity, an annual fee is obviously needed. Then, you should pay per time you watch the movie.

Office

LibreOffice is already for years the best Office suite. LibreOffice is moving to an hybrid architecture that will make working together on documents via cloud storage as easy as with Google WorkSpace. And you can better work together via a hybrid-cloud than in the cloud because that enables you to protect your privacy.

Gmail

We think that for now, proton.me is the best and most private alternative for gmail.

Cloud

We think that for now, pCloud is the best and most private alternative for Google Drive; Dropbox; OneCloud and Windows 365.

Break out of the Microsoft prison

Microsoft is a smart marketing and cashflow piping company, not really the source of innovation. There are alternatives already for years for all Microsoft products, mostly technical superior. There has never been a better marketing than the Microsoft one however.
It is time for laptop builders to have their own Linux (Debian) desktop versions!!
The Debian project should enable branding for hardware supplier that supply Debian pre installed laptops. It is time for Lenovo-OS; Acer-OS; Asus-OS; Samsung-OS; and so on.
We (consumers outside the USA) want to free ourselves from the USA terror, please help us Lenovo; Acer; Asus; and Samsung!

Translate

We think that DeepL is the best alternative for Google Translate.

Maps (Google / Apple)

A growing alternative is OpenStreetMap data and one of the apps what use this geo-data, like OsmAnd

Searching

A privacy focused non-USA alternative is Brave

Mobile (Android / iOS)

Waiting for Mobian based phones. See the TUI battles. For now the best option is revitalize an old phone with PostmarketOS.
