Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

        If you object then recommend something or help.
I only use Brave for movies because its faster and my internet is slow.
Its not my first time using Linux, I've tried Ubuntu, CachyOS, and Arch and with them KDE, Hyprland, Gnome and many others.
That's what I'm trying to do, reduce cloud storage usage.
I used this "eye catchy privacy packs" because its easy to make. (And its powered by ente)
I know there is no private AI, I don't use them often but i try and use ones with good privacy policy and I don't have money to buy a powerful PC, hell even my phone is stronger
Lastly If your this angry go and take a walk instead of crashing out at people and wasting their time.
Edit: typo

i think my point kind of missed: i dont have specific recommendations unless an use case or a set of requirements is provided. most services from big providers are "catch all" because of budget and desire to capture market, privacy alternatives aren't

i also misunderstood this as a recommendation for others rather than sharing own's choices, so I'm sorry if I was annoyed for what I felt to be poor choices (and i feel these are for generic users trying to get free from big providers)

but really, drop brave
