  • prices are not dynamic unfortunately, I just searched the prices on either the brand’s website or a relevant retailer (Amazon, B&H Photo, Crutchfield, etc.)

    Wirecutter I’ve heard of, they at least seem more trustworthy than other reviewers that base their picks on what gives them the most affiliate revenue.

    I would say Wirecutter does best when reviewing things like bed sheets and hair dryers (typical everyday stuff). Things like audio I would rather watch a dedicated reviewer over Wirecutter.

    Also, keep in mind that Wirecutter does use affiliate links, so make sure to see other reviews as well :)









  • for me:

    • google drive > pcloud (objectively better app tbh)
    • chrome > librewolf > floorp (i like having the tab bar at the bottom, and librewolf is a bit annoying sometimes)
    • photos > ente
    • gmail > proton > tuta > “disroot” (proton and tuta aren’t IMAP, and their first-party apps are slow. disroot probably isn’t the best one, I just chose one that supports IMAP)
    • google search > ddg > SearXNG
    • google office > onlyoffice on windows, libreoffice on linux
    • google maps > Organic Maps
    • google passwords > bitwarden
    • google auth > ente auth :)
