    For me the internet is still just about bearable but only because of the following…

    Firefox + unlock origin for web browsing.

    RedReader for Reddit when I occasionally need to go there.

    Lemmy for the best Reddit alternative.

    Revanced and NewPipe for YouTube.

    Recently moved from Google podcasts to Podcast Republic after Google moved podcasts to you tube music.

    Never had Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram.

    Email is still functional and necessary so have to stick with that.

    It feels like I’m swimming against a strong tide just to maintain a good experience, in no other industry do the major players want to cripple your goods and services if you don’t bend over and accept their increasingly poor goods and services 🤷🏻‍♂️

      I what way? Are you talking about email lists or something like that? Please share some wisdom so I can think of email as of something more than just annoying spambox that corportations and governments use to spy on me.
