Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.
Main ones:
- cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
- bitwarden
- discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)
Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)
This one has been on my mind, too.
If you want simplicity, the one Canadian password manager that I would consider is 1password.
It’s paid and not open-source, but they seem to be as trustworthy as they come.
Keepass is another option, but not as “seamless” as Bitwarden.
If you can, Self-host as much as possible: replace Google/Apple photos, Music, Movies, note taking, office apps, etc. Anything that requires a subscription… look for self-hosted or FOSS (free open source software) alternatives.
I don’t mind paying for 1password
They need to maintain security, so I’m happy to fund that.
I did the math on how much it would be until I did, it was a few thousand dollars, which seems worth it as long as they can maintain security that long.
That said, I totally get why others do not want to pay.
