Google Chrome -> Firefox
If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.
Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲
Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye
Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!
Gmail -> ProtonMail
All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!
Google Docs -> LibreOffice
LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.
Google Translate -> DeepL
DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.
Google Forms -> ClickUp
ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.
Google Drive -> Mega
Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.
YouTube -> PeerTube
YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!
However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!
Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️

Tw mentioned or predatory behavior and admin bright. For those of you that wanted more info on the DJ Kaktus shit show. This is gonna be a long post. And as much as I don't like that so many people are interacting with my blog because of this. I don't think this is going anywhere. DJK is talking about changing the 963 article and if you like the character Bright or even the Shaw this is probably going to be something you argue about at least once during your time in the fandom. I still don't want to talk about it constantly or have people ask me about it frequently. I don't want this to be what my page is about. But I don't think this is going to be the passing thing I hoped it to be. I am however hoping to direct this topic into something else that deserves attention. Because I realized some other shit that pissed me off. I'm also gonna be reposting the same stuff from other people's pages to give credit where credit is do and because one of them mentioned other alleged predators that are still on the wiki (The blogs I'm talking about are SCPbad and pixelated harmony) They were both old posts and I was worried they wouldn't get the attention they deserve if just rebloged.
You read that right an old post. Around the same time admin Brights allegations first came out maybe even earlier. I don't remember. I do remember that admin Bright wasn't the only predator on the wiki. But what pisses me off is how no one talked about the others and people still rarely do. It's because the wiki staff doesn't care about victims they care that the wiki was gaining a reputation for being a breeding ground for predators. A reputation it rightfully deserves.
I spoke with someone in the comments of a previous post about how this is going to be a major dividing point in the community. I think this could be another run of when people got pissed about the pride logo and went off and tried to make their own wiki. This might even be worse than that because the Bright character has been a big part of this community since the beginning of it. But no matter your opinion on the Bright situation this community needs to put an end to the wiki.
As horrible and annoying as content farms and YouTube channels that put their own spin on things that don't provide any content to the wiki can be. I think people need to start putting their own effort in and making a community on YouTube and other platforms and not the wiki. I highly doubt anyone will take my advice on this but if you have ideas for tales or SCPs just post them on YouTube or here on Tumblr or AO3 or anywhere but the wiki. Especially since people on here have talked about how how DJK specifically along with others have gotten people banned for criticizing on site creators. Which is also in a previous post I reblogged.
The wiki is a shit place that defends predators until they get caught doing so. Then they make half assed videos and solutions to the fact they got caught but continue to do nothing about the fact that there are still predators in the community! They even ignored the shit about Admin Bright for years when people were speaking out against them. The wiki only did something about them when they were already retired. They don't care about victims DJK is proof of that!
It's the transphobia in a community that is supposed to be LGBTQ+ positive. It's the dating a 17 year old. It's attempting to pressure a freshly turned 18 year old into drinking before having sex. Fuck the admins and the staff that ignored and continue to ignore this. Fuck them for ignoring the admin bright situation for longer than they should have. I highly doubt this is the only person DJK has done this too because that's the nature of this shit especially those that don't get called out for it. I highly doubt there aren't more predators on the wiki that we just don't know about. This is a problem and the wiki staff cares more about popularity and reputations than victims.
