So... original, unshittified Facebook?

Thanks for the tip - hadn't heard about the Avast news, and wasn't aware Windows Defender might be sufficient. I'll look into it.

I'll confess to still using WhatsApp, cause I don't have it in my heart to force my 80 year old mother to learn signal.

Oh - and I'm replacing gmail (email and calendar) with Proton. I think the CEO isn't great, but it's a very similar service, and it's not US based. Any recommendations for alternatives to Android and Apple? I'm getting less comfortable with how much data Google has (and I don't like iOS).

Canadian here - canceled Amazon Prime, and deleted Meta's Facebook and Messenger. I also canceled my Norton subscription and will be replacing it with Avast. I'm canceling Google One cloud storage and have changed my default search engine to Quant.
I know I'm just one family, but if we all do this kind of stuff, what a world it would be!
