A trustworthy VPN provider is your best solution here. Mullvad, IVPN, and ProtonVPN are common recommendations in the community. I would personally recommend against Windscribe; it is privacy-friendly but has had major bugs repeatedly in the past. If you want to go experimental, check out NymVPN and Obscura (Apple platforms only).

I would strongly recommend against it, from a security and data protection perspective due: "No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability! Note that Iceraven Browser includes some unstable code written by Mozilla, with our own added modifications on top, all shipped with the stable version of GeckoView engine. Hence, the browser may contain bugs introduced upstream. Binaries are currently built automatically by our Github release automation. These binaries are signed with a debug key. When we finally publish this somewhere official like F-droid, we will sign the apks with a proper key suitable for public release. Due to the current way we create the releases and sign them, you may not want to rely on such "alpha" quality software as your primary web browser, as it will have bugs. So, use this browser only if you are comfortable with these limitations/potential risks."

  • APKpure is a shady and illegal website. Don't use it.
  • Waterfox must be published by BrowserWorks Ltd. (the company behind it) on F-Droid to be available there; the creator repeatedly confirmed that he plans to do so but has never kept his promise about when it will happen. So, I'm sure it will happen at some point, but at worst it could be years before it does.
  • Fennec is a fork of Firefox with proprietary code removed, UnifiedPush support, and removed third-party tracking code. It's by F-Droid themselves.

I just reviewed the page; it's so messed up. I mean, TOS;DR had issues in the past already, but this breaks it completly.

"Service claims to be GDPR compliant": 👍 (it isn't)

You didn't even understand the context. It's about a law that already passed as temporarily and is about to run out.

Consider "HERE WeGo"

https://wego.here.com/

It does not fit the FOSS philosophy, but is by an European company based in the Netherlands, more privacy-respecting and works for me just as good as Google Maps did.

No, that has changed since almost 3 years.

Please verify before you accidentally spread misinformation.

They collect personal data before you even have the chance to opt out which is a clear violation of the GDPR. They promise to delete it within 30 days when you opt out, but is was collected nonetheless.

What makes Chinese hardware more trustworthy?

What other hardware do you trust, if any?

Not all browser extensions are fingerprintable, only those that do by the website measureable differences to your browsing, which Snowflake, as far as I'm aware does not.
