Mullvad app works for me

I don't really get this. They're essentially picking up their toys and going home. I guess their plan is to rely completely on word of mouth? Good for them.

What do you mean by decentralized? Searx actually works better than Google with it's meta search capabilities and the fact you can host it anywhere, it is decentralized.

Are you referring to some sort of decentralized indexing of the internet?

This might have been relevant in 2018 but many of these browsers aren't actively developed anymore.

Other VPN alternatives (Though IMO Mullvad is the best) are: AirVPN (Italy), iVPN (Sweden). AirVPN are vocal critics of Wireguard though, they think it hasn't been battled tested so they won't offer it.

Taiwan withdrew the extradition request of the murderer of a pregnant woman for the sake of politics? That's messed up.

My opinion on disroot is that any organization that has a business model run on donations is inherently unsustainable. If disroot became popular, they would no longer be able to host accounts for free. They may end up creating a subscription service after that but it creates uncertainty as to how and what they will do in the future. They might decide to fold. The same thing can be said for paid services but I wouldn't use Disroot as my main email address if a few years from now the donations stop and they say they're shutting down. IMO

I think the best options are Tutanota or CTemplar. Like others, Protonmail sketches me out. It's run by silicon valley techbros who are proud to host Bellingcat (State Dept propaganda) for example.

TutaNota, while being forced to share some data, are fighting tooth and nail against it for privacy goals. If they're both essentially the same service, go for the cheaper one that aligns with your values.

Ctemplar looks interesting but they're still too green IMO.

There's nothing I need on my phone I couldn't use on my computer, but I do like the features of Telegram for messaging and a web browser for browsing, everything else is essentially a time waster.
