There’s a fork that does exactly this already. It works but yeah it kind of eliminates the point.

Every time this asshole speaks it just throws the entire company even further off a cliff lmao

I’ve been phasing mine out. Some junk and old things still go to it, but nothing remotely important or interesting to big data. Definitely need to sit down and clean it out for good though.

It just seemed like the most similar choice that meets my needs. I looked at some of the other options - I’d go with Proton if it weren’t for the issues mentioned, I used them for a bit and the service works very well. Nym seemed interesting, but I don’t believe they offer Wireguard configs? I could be wrong.

This sums it up well. Their products are fine, but putting everything into one company isn’t a good idea, and the political statements leave little faith.

I use their free Drive for sharing files, but I’ve moved to Tuta for email and just about everything else selfhosted. I’m still running out a mullvad subscription but I’ll be switching that to IVPN when it expires.

Takes some tinkering but I’ve been liking it. Like so many FOSS projects right now there’s some LLM involvement unfortunately, but this dev’s been putting out really solid projects even before all this stuff came about.

Definitely works better than SearXNG, plus the customization and the plugin system are excellent. 4play for google searches didnt work well for me, but the Google CSE engine solved that problem.

This is what I did but you do need to be careful with it - in the US ar least you can’t unlock the bootloader on a Verizon-issued pixel which are very common. Always ask the seller where they got it from, since most wouldn’t be technical enough to check the bootloader for you
