Ask HN: Privacy Resources Recommendations?

Hey there,

I am looking into using more secure & private software.

Sources that recommend or audit different software are high appreciated! Also high-level guides about the subject would be very helpful as well.

I am already going through privacytools.io, other recommendations are welcome!

Cheers!

In short use:

    * Tor Browser or Firefox + ublockorigin + noscript OR umatrix

    * duckduckgo for search, duck.com shor url, also look into bangs ! for ddg

    * Signal for private messaging

Pirvacy Tools also has their own subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsio

I also highly recommend self-hosting: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted
