I want to know what people’s favorite privacy and security services are, or ones you wish existed, online. You don’t have to list a specific site, app, or brand, just the idea. For example, I like temporary email services that just generate a random email and inbox and delete it all after 10 minutes.
My utmost fav is bitwarden. The ui can look too old school for some but it really doesn’t get in my way and gets the job done. They’re in the process of revamping the ui though so it might change in the future.
They’re also very, very generous for the free tier and the premium is dirt cheap $10/year only.
Proton suit, nextdns and nextcloud.
For me its convonient and privacy respecting (at least more that gpogle)
Using e-mail aliases is truly a game changer, being able to use a different e-mail for every service and just be able to deactivate it if one of them starts sending spam is something I can’t live without anymore. Also nice to see who sells your data to advertisers and report them. Part of the Proton suit if you have unlimited.

I use Proton. They offer fully encrypted email, file sharing, calendar, VPN, and a password manager. They’re legit and based in Switzerland.
CodaMail is fast becoming one of my favourites.
I’m really liking this. Idk if it counts as an “online” service.
But it removes URL trackers when sharing a link from an app. And it works with Tiktok which is awesome!
I think they also have an android version
Threema and Nextcloud.
For privacy and security I want as much as possible of my computational world on my own machines NOT online. For things that are online I seek real E2EE and zero access web apps whevere possible. I see no point in such short lived temp email service.
DuckDuckGo
They have grown so much, from a search engine, to a complete all in one solution, with app tracker protection, email protection via a forwarding service, cookie protection and one of the best browsers out there. Best of all, all of it for free.
They are launching a paid vpn service, and I wish them the best of luck. Too bad its only available in the US right now
They truly simplified the whole process all under one package.
Angels of privacy
I like kaspersky vault options as well as its password manager. { i know bitwarden is good too, but UI is very very good with kaspersky}.
If anyone else know other softwares like kaspersky vault, feel free to let me know, thanks
I pay for Startmail for my main email and it’s totally worth it. Tuta and Proton for other purposes.
