I Switched to These Privacy-Focused Apps—You Probably Should Too
1 min read
Summary
Instead of using one’s actual email address, an email aliasing service such as SimpleLogin can be used as a privacy shield to create multiple unique aliases which forward messages to the user’s inbox.
SimpleLogin has a free plan, but users can upgrade to a premium plan that offers unlimited aliases and also allows the blocking of email tracking pixels.
For password management, Proton Pass is recommended as it uses end-to-end encryption so that even Proton itself cannot access users’ information.
Joplin is an open-source alternative to other notes apps that allows the creation of encrypted notes and synchronises across all devices.
For browsing privacy, Proton VPN offers a free service that gives access to servers in five countries, but the Proton VPN Plus subscription provides access to over 12,000 servers across 110 countries while also offering features such as split tunneling and double VPN capabilities for added security.
