Tools that probably no one had heard of but are extremely helpful for Degoogling:

  1. Sustysubs.net - A list of alternative services

  1. LibreCuts - The only FOSS Android video editor for the professionals
  • A video editor for Android that supports overlays and keyframes, which in my opinion, is the minimum requirment for a video editor to be “professional”

F-Droid:

  1. LibreFind - Community-driven app for finding alternative apps for Android
  • LibreFind is probably the most well-known project listed here, but basically, you submit a FOSS alternative to a proprietary app, then wait for it to be approved. It also lists how many of your local apps are FOSS or not

  1. Pur.ili - Kagi if it was free
  • Pur.ili is a private search engine that does not have big tech spy on you by secret. Unlike most “privacy friendly” search engines, like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, this one has a completely independent index, meaning no contracts to big tech to let them spy on you by secret. The difference between this and Kagi? It doesn’t require a paid subscription, so you can use it for free

    How does the search engine support itself? I can’t find that info on the site.

    Edit: most recent blog entry doesn’t sound good for well thought out longevity plans.

    Monthly update, hand-written. Growing at 100% m-o-m however no more room for further index growth.

    The last month I have introduced some additional features (translate) and have one question for the purili community: how to raise funds to allow for sustainable growth. Currently our server is nearing max capacity, and with only a 3 month runway left I would highly appreciate if anyone could step forward with ideas on how to effectively raise funds. Please email me at hello@puri.li
