  • I use Proton Mail for my primary domain and then addy.io for redirects to it. It costs $10 a year or something like that and it’s all I actually need.

    Replying to emails is as easy as just hitting reply, the only thing that’s slightly harder is sending entirely new email (as in not replying) but even that can either be remembered, or the special email address copied from the addy.io app.



  • There’s nothing reasonable in you having to share your location with them constantly.

    If you cut off all such apps, prepare to be isolated from your peers who most likely don’t care about privacy (which is most people and in your age group perhaps close to everyone).

    If you’re not ready to go out of the mainstream, try to minimise your usage of such apps to only what you need - if you need Instagram for communication with peers, use it for that, but don’t feed Meta the data of what you look at. I was on Messenger for ~2 years after I quit Facebook and even that made me feel better.

    Use some privacy protection tools, I personally recommend Adguard, but feel free to choose other popular options.

    Beware that no matter what you do, big tech will still know about you more than you’d like.
