We Don’t Need Tyrannical Big Tech…Here Are Some Alternatives
Tsarism ^ | 21SEP18 | editorial staff

Posted on 09/22/2018 5:42:00 AM PDT by vannrox

Each day brings new revelations about big-tech and their tyrannical actions and monopolistic practices. It’s time those in the crosshairs of this illegal behavior look for alternatives. At the end of the day, the truth is, you don’t need to send your money, advertising eyeballs, or support to these corrupt, anti-American companies.

Here are some alternatives.

Google Search – Google tracks everything you do. There is no reason to give this power to someone else. Your privacy matters. Delete Chrome and change your browser to Mozilla Firefox. Change the default search engine on your device to Duck Duck Go. They don’t track you. They advertise this as a badge of honor. This is an easy fix you can do in a few minutes.

Alex Jones Is Right – China Is The Threat, And It May Be Too Late

Google Office Suite – Zoho.com is an Indian company that has robust capability. Spend some time getting familiar with the software suite and what it can do for you. There is no reason to share documents with Google or other liberal cloud services and give access to this information to someone who is against you ideologically.

Twitter – Twitter has gone full bore censorship of anything it doesn’t like (read anything conservative). Open an account on Gab.com and ride the wave. There is no censorship. If anyone bothers you on the site, just mute them. It’s easy! Gab is growing rapidly.

Google Analytics – use Clicky! There is so much capability there!

Amazon – There are a myriad of other e-commerce retailers out there. Walmart, or more refined niche operators are not hard to find. Don’t give your money to the company that wants to bring down President Trump.

Facebook – This company tracks everything you do, sells it, and treats your privacy like an open book. They don’t care about you at all. If you don’t want to give up Facebook to connect with family in the like, at least protect your computer from their spying. Install the ‘facebook condom’ on Mozilla Firefox and you will keep Facebook in a cage.

Populist Wave Must Change EU Tyranny

This is just a partial list. We will publish a more robust table of alternatives as we do more research.

Oh, and by the way, search out news outlets that don’t push the anti-Trump narrative. Tsarizm.com is a great place to start for international news!

Not a very good list

Firefox instead of Chrome? Firefox has promised to help fight fakenews and not the NYT/CNN type. Brave and Vivaldi browsers are better alternatives

Install something to stay on facistbook?

Firefox has talked about disabling the browsers ability to go to “fringe sites” such as infowars.

Pale Moon browser

Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser completely built from its own, independently developed source that has been forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code a number of years ago, with carefully selected features and optimizations to improve the browser's stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.

I recommend Brave over Firefox. Brave was started by the former head of Mozilla after his banishment from Mozilla for supporting traditional marriage. Brave has ad blocking, but allows micro payments to websites you want to support.

Pale Moon was my main browser for many years. But a few months ago I had to abandon it because the guy who runs the operation, apparently in a fit of frustration, abandoned their commitment to supporting extensions. Users screamed about it and many of us left.

Not often visiting the forums there, I wasn’t aware of any of that.
Likely due to having already found/installed the extensions that suit my needs to a T.
Thanks for the info though .. cheers.

Try the Puffin browser. It’s worked well for me. For FB, create a new, fake profile. Be sure to take the time to make it look real. Use this profile when you visit edgier FB pages. If you get thrown out your real FB page remains intact. Finally, download the anonymity tool, Tor. While Tor is often mentioned as an app for people to use who search the “Dark Web” (that’s true) it has legitimate purposes and will keep you 99% anonymous. The Feds can crack it but it’s not easy. Just don’t do anything illegal while using Tor and you’ll remain anonymous when browsing. Tor even has versions for Android smartphones.

I like Firefox because of the NoScript add-on. But the Firefox developers are leftists. Firefox has a new feature called Pocket. It pushes all left-wing propaganda sources via its recommendations: nyt, the atlantic, wapo, the guardian, etc., etc.

Open an account on Gab.com and ride the wave. There is no censorship.

There are also no people.

We need Twitter to get our message out to millions, not preach to the choir.

Again for those who don’t know.
No matter which you use, the data is probably flowing thru a Google server farm.
They own 90% of them.

I am on both Twitter and Gab, and the first three tabs I keep open all day in my browser are for Twitter, Gab and FR. My account on Gab allows me to hear members of the choir who have been kicked off Twitter.

The issue came to a head when the Pale Moon developer got into a fight with NoScript users. As far as I am concerned, any browser that does not work with NoScript (or an equivalent) is useless on the internet. (My bank's website brings in unnecessary and potentially malicious JavaScript from four (and sometimes five) dodgey domains; so I use NoScript very heavily even on supposedly trustworthy sites.)

I don’t use NoScript, but do have a couple similar things running that do a pretty good job.
Simply can’t imagine ‘net usage w/o nuking ads, etc.

Have always been of the opinion that malicious hackers & virus authors/propagators should be shot.
The passage of time since the Web came out has not mellowed that opinion.
