Alternatives to Google, Fakebook, Titter, Adobe, Microsoft, etc.

For those - like me - on the constant hunt for quality alternatives to the most invasive, woke, and/or expensive brands (think Google, Fakebook, Titter, Adobe, Microsoft, etc.), here are a few I find useful:

Brave browser - Chrome engine without the snooping. Runner up: Firefox (warning Mozilla now woke).
