Iโve been gradually building my own privacy-friendly toolkit to reduce data tracking and protect my digital identity. Itโs not perfect, but these are the tools I use (and recommend) for everyday online life.
๐ Browsing & Search
- Brave โ A privacy-focused browser with built-in ad blocking and tracker protection.
- Tor Browser โ For anonymous browsing when I want maximum privacy.
- DuckDuckGo โ A search engine that doesnโt track queries.
๐ง Communication Tools
- Signal โ My favorite messaging app for encrypted chats and calls.
- **Atomic Mail** โ A secure email service with strong encryption, anonymous sign up, and seed phrase recovery.
- Element โ A decentralized chat app built on Matrix.
๐ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Authy โ Easy to use, syncs 2FA codes across devices.
- Aegis โ Open-source 2FA app for Android, highly secure.
- YubiKey โ Hardware security key for maximum account protection.
๐ Passwords & Security
- Bitwarden โ Open-source password manager I use across all devices.
- KeePassXC โ Offline, open-source password manager.
