The only trace left from Google in my life is search. No, DDG is unfortunately nowhere near Google Search. The day I could replace that too, I'll try my best not to touch a Google product ever again.
I'm not saying it will fully replace google, but I find startpage.com to be much better than DDG, and I am leaning back on google search less and less

> I recommend hosting an e-mail server by yourself As someone who did this from about 2001 until three years ago, I strongly suggest most people don't bother with this route. GMail, Outlook, etc, all throw so many arbitrary and ever-changing security conditions to accept mail, it really isn't worth the hassle - or the lost clients from mails that don't reach their walled-garden end-points. I've used Fastmail for a fe…
Same here. I finally stopped self-hosting this past year. I moved to privateemail through namecheap, where I have my domains. For me it actually ended up being cheaper than the VPS I was using for rolling my own email server (let alone the cost of my time administrating/maintaining). Rolling your own is fine until you're explaining to your spouse why the realtor never received the email they're waiting for to adjust…
I’ve moved away from Chrome and Google Search. But I’m struggling to move away from Gmail, especially since this email is linked to so many critical official accounts (bank, government agencies) Any solutions to make the transition easier outside of manually updating email everywhere? Also, what’s the best alternative to Gmail currently that will support using my own domain name?
I use ungoogled-chromium and I'm pretty happy with it https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium I should move away from Gmail too but that's the hardest part imo. I mostly have trust issues if that make sense. Not that I trust Google that much but I just don't know if any other email service will be around in 20 years or so. Probably Microsoft and Apple? iCloud Mail sounds good just don't have any expe…

Somehow ungoogled-chromium is pushing Pipewire on all of us.
Personally, I created a chrome extension for myself where I track my own behavior locally and recommend myself content from sites i like (youtube/twitter/quora/etc) in a feed. Would rather have control over my own algorithm and own the data. Also it gives me flexibility. Turns out I do like these feeds just not when I don't own it haha.
lmk if you're interested in the tech behind it. It's for my personal use now but could also release it if people are interested. I call it myAlgorithm.
most of these services are inferior to the google service imo. and many of these alternatives may leak or sell your data too.
if you're paranoid then DTA. it's far better to hide in the crowd then to use some browser developed by 4 people with anime emojis on github.
also, I trust google won't get hacked far more than the others.
better solution would be to obfuscate your data as much as possible.

I‘m not sure what you think would have happened. The domain is still registered via the register to your account and they literally know those contact emails become out of date. Those fields are pretty much just for informational purposes otherwise Whois privacy would own all the domains.
Changing contact records required confirmation sent to the e-mail address of the owner record. Ultimately, in case of domain theft/dispute or similar, the domain's owner record has highest authority.
I just changed the email in the owner field in namecheap. I did not receive a confirmation email. (At the old one, I did to the new one)
> Ultimately, in case of domain theft/dispute or similar, the domain's owner record has highest authority.
I would highly suspect in a court of law that is not true. You see, you have a contract with the registar for the domain. You can put whatever information you want there it doesn't change your contract with the registar. That is why your registar account is important.

Search results are great + additional features for developers
