I run a Raspberry Pi/Pi-hole along with uBlock Origin w/ all filters enabled, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, Webmail Ad Block, Tracking Token Stipper, Neat URL, and No Coin. I also have about:config set to disallow referers, fingerprinting, sites reading history, no geo location, etc. Works a treat.

This is very true. I have been a paying customer of Fastmail for many years, and in my opinion, they are the best in the industry and very small to boot.

OpenBSD is yet another example of a small(ish) team of people making some truly great software. On the Windows side, Fookes Software comes to mind, again small operation, great software.
