F-Droid - Open source grifters who favor censorship. Banned Gab.
BASED.
Mozilla (Firefox) - (see our detailed review of Mozilla) - A very dangerous company. Anti-Trump, anti-free speech, tribalism, etc. Switch to the Brave browser to protect yourself from censorship.
Glory to Socialist Mozilla!
NewEgg.com - Do NOT support this company. We are told that NewEgg drop ships some merchandise via Amazon.com. We don't do business with Amazon.com under any circumstances! NewEgg is reportedly owned by the Chinese company, Hangzhao Liaison Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd.

Freedom Phone - Freedom Phone is way overpriced and has too many questions. Instead consider a Google-free smartphone or the Linux-based Pinephone.
Lmao they had Freedom Phone on the site as "Good Companies" before.
This is like 90% of the large corps, good luck with "boycott" lmao.
I think it is getting easy enough with Ubuntu that it wouldn't be much of a struggle. I used to have a lot of family drama around this. Every time my uncle came back to the grandparents for Christmas he would have to fix their computers, which involved huge amount of virus, toolbar, and bloat removal. He got fed up with spending several days of his Christmas vacation on this and just installed Ubuntu 10.04 since most of what they were doing was just emails and web browsing. There was a lot of struggle at first, and windows was reinstalled. But tried a few years later it stuck and there wasn't much issue after that. Though, I think he still had to do some tech support here or there.
I feel like it'd be easier with older people. Grandparents aren't going to try to fuck with settings unless spam/popups put it in their face. Boomers would try to fix whatever irritates them and just make it worse.
"I was worried about this Ubuntu, because it is a very ethnic name. But I just found out it was made by a white South African millionaire, so can't be that bad."
The even more brainworm thing is that they're pushing Brave, which is run by right-wing crypto grifter Brendan Eich, who got fired from Mozilla for bankrolling the anti-gay-marriage ballot measure in California years ago. He's also the creator of JavaScript, so there's literally nothing about him that's not contemptible.
F-Droid is "okay". They blocked the Gab app, but allow Mastodon clients that don't block Gab.
