Found a great site with info about privacy focused OSes written for non-technical readers. It lists basic things to know about several different mobile os options, and there are also pages that list what open source and privacy focused apps from F droid (the alternative to play store) are good to use.

There is also, wonderfully, a page that specifically lists user friendly and nice looking ones. This site is a goldmine. Had to post as I was looking for this exact thing yesterday and I know I am not the only person on lemmy looking for alternatives.

      I use the website you linked occasionally, but recommending something from 2022 is hazardous when it’s a browser. Over 1 year of security issues, unpatched?

      AlternativeTo needs to obliterate recommendations for insecure products if they go inactive. Some things can be fine if discontinued, but others cannot.

      New security exploits are discovered daily. A browser without updates can’t protect your device from a malicious site. As for Bromite, just use the fork called Cromite which is updated.
