Website About Privacy Focused OS For Everyone

Just a moment...

https://alternativeto.net/lists/29704/privacy-focused-os/

Found a great site with info about privacy focused OSes written for non-technical readers. It lists basic things to know about several different mobile os options, and there are also pages that list what open source and privacy focused apps from F droid (the alternative to play store) are good to use.

There is also, wonderfully, a page that specifically lists user friendly and nice looking ones. This site is a goldmine. Had to post as I was looking for this exact thing yesterday and I know I am not the only person on lemmy looking for alternatives.

The fact that Bromite is recommended tells me one very important thing - the author hasn't updated the site since December of 2022. I didn't go through all the pages so there could be other outdated apps in the list. Check when the last update happened before using any app.

What's the potential consequence of using an out of date app?

I use the website you linked occasionally, but recommending something from 2022 is hazardous when it's a browser. Over 1 year of security issues, unpatched?

AlternativeTo needs to obliterate recommendations for insecure products if they go inactive. Some things can be fine if discontinued, but others cannot.

New security exploits are discovered daily. A browser without updates can't protect your device from a malicious site. As for Bromite, just use the fork called Cromite which is updated.
