To add to this, I suggest sorting the comments by controversial on Reddit for another take.
I realize there are exceptions to this, and you might fall into that category, but…
Most of the time when websites say they require a particular app, they actually don’t. Like if a website says to use Google Authenticator, you can actually use any TOTP app. There is even a workaround for using Steam’s TOTP without their app.
Don’t be scared to just try importing the QR or text based code into another app when you are signing up for a service. A functioning website won’t let you progress to the next screen without having the proper code in your app.
Edit: After digging into 2FAS, I think it is now my top choice. Seems like more of a drop in replacement for Raivo. https://2fas.com/
My second choice is (as of this edit) Owky. I’ve not seen anyone talking about it, but it’s FOSS and has the ability to export your TOTP codes.
Im a little worried about it not being maintained though, since it’s a single developer.

Other options I’ve considered:
Tofu Authenticator. Unfortunately it’s basic though and lacks the ability to export.
ente Authenticator. Account required, and I’m a little undecided on the company. Might be a serious option though.
I mean, currently I’m having less trouble using Arch to game than I was with anything else. I think the big thing is that Aech has a rapid release of updates, and the Steamdeck is based on Arch.
If you want those benefits without a lot of the annoying complexity during setup, there is always EndeavorOS. It’s pretty close to a basic Arch install, but it holds your hand a lot more.
One point for Brave, is that they have specifically said they will continue to support Manifest v2 in their browser.
What system are you on that Firefox is laggy? I’ve had no real issues on Windows, Mac, or Linux in the past few years.
Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo is just Bing with additional privacy these days. Effectively is is what Startpage is for Google.
Brave Search is one of the only independent search indexes available these days. Others include Mojeek and Qwant, but neither are as good as Brave Search.
You can with Firefox Focus! Though to be clear, safari with AdGuard is much better. Even better when used together NextDNS and the HaGaZi blocklist.
Wow, somehow this escaped me all these years. I feel like I’ve got a bunch of fresh XKCD to read now.
For the uneducated: On a mobile browser you just press and hold the comic (long tap). On a computer you hover over the image and the alt text will appear next to the cursor.
The alt text in this one was:
Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we’ve all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.
For what it’s worth, Apex Legends literally runs smoother on my Arch Linux install than my Windows 10 install. It was completely unexpected, but a very welcome discovery.
Range is an issue, but Bluetooth can reach up-to 100 meters. It depends on a lot of factors.
If you have a lot of people with it installed, I believe it also has the ability to bounce from one device to another (like Briar).
Just a few reasons off the top of my head:
Service disruptions, protest communications, censorship resistance, and emergency service communication in areas without cell service (ocean, wilderness, etc).
Yeah, I’m not huge on the web3 stuff and P2P has some drawbacks in terms of function, but having the ability to message cross-platform over Bluetooth is amazing.
That being said, I’m not planning to switch over from Signal anytime soon for my primary communications.
Hey! I wrote up a list of Open Source iOS apps on the Privacy Guides community.
I’ve been slowly trying to become platform agnostic, so I can switch back and forth between OSs without losing function. I’m not 100% there, but I hope this list helps you too if you are looking to go that route.
Copying the relevant bits here.
For iOS:

FOSS, but with a paid tier:
Paid Only, but Open Source:

I mean, they most certainly have the technical ability to hack anyone. If you think they don’t strategically stockpile and use zero-days, you aren’t paying attention.
Look what fell off a truck in Base64.
