Alternative privacy friendly frontends

Using services from likes of Google or Facebook is highly discouraged and you should always look into open alternatives which can be found e.g. at https://www.privacytools.io/ however it's possible to use these proprietary services in more privacy friendly way and such alternatives are listed here.

Note on IM: try avoiding closed instant messaging at all cost, I will not discuss those here, but e.g. Matrix has many bridges https://matrix.org/bridges/ still you need to identify into the network, well.
