One of the biggest jokes on the internet is the phrase with which every PP begins "Your privacy is very important to us" to be given later it counts in the rest of the text, which few read, which should be understood in an ironic way. In other words, your data is important to them, because they traffic with it and use the most shabby tricks to get it (FloC, iddle, pixel tracker, key and mousemove logger, fingerprintings, email tracking, URL ads, clickbaits, script to anulate adblockers. redirects, etc).

Proton is OpenSource, another alternative is Tutanota or Murena (Nextcloud). This are very reliable mail services.

True in essence, but OSS is not necessarily synonymous with privacy, security or reliability, this only depends on the developer and the intentions of this and maintenance. There is nothing more dangerous than an unattended OSS, precisely because the code is public and not everyone who reads it has good intentions. On the other hand, not all proprietary software is automatically garbage, abusive or spyware, if we exclude those from the BigBrother companies. In each software or service, regardless of whether it is OpenSource or not, it is always important to read the TOS and PP, if people did, they would often be surprised and not always pleasant. FOSS is always preferable, but do not cling to the fact that it is the universal panacea, it is not, it's the common sense.

Simply test it, it's free

I think that it isn't so easy. The necessary infrastructure depends on the number of people rather than the number of buildings (electricity, water, pipes, streets, etc). An urbanization with individual houses can generate its energy needs sufficiently with decentralized solar and wind panels, which is not possible for the same number of people in a single building. The best example is the environmental impact of towns with individual houses and small buildings, comparing the impact of large, densely populated cities, which even influence the climate. The real world is not an island, as this drawing of yours suggests. Large cities with huge buildings cannot be integrated into nature they always replace it. https://i.vgy.me/waCsuy.png

Several, here in Spain there are quite a few chalets that use solar roofs for their own consumption and even have surpluses to repay surpluses to the network. Decentralizing energy production is a more efficient way than centralized production, naturally the energy industry is still putting obstacles, but this is already changing little by little. People realize that a house can be energetically self-sufficient with current technologies. https://www.homebiogas.com/blog/energy-self-sufficient-home/

How many walable citys do you know with fewer cars, preserving extra space (Parks are no woods or nature), a good public transport and closer to nature? How to make a big building energy autonom? Big aglomerations are not the way. Energy by nuclear is a joke for several reasons. Even if you show the article from the gov, which shurly is objective and independent, the realyty is other. Come to Europe and see the problems with nukes they had and its form of housing.

It must be after Franklin invented the lightning rod, seeing the two he holds in his hands.

Chrome, but not necessarly other Chromiums. Blink engine is better than Gecko or WebKit, offering more possibilities than others, because of this is more and more used by browser companies. Respect Spyware, also Firefox send Data to Alphabet, Nest and Googleanalytics (not the Browser itself, but Mozilla do), when you use sync.

Degoogled Chromium don't, but you can not longer use Google servers for sync. Edge and Opera use own servers, but both are more spyware than Chrome itself, Vivaldi use a own encrypted syncserver in Iceland and dont send anything to Google (Google APIs that compromise privacy are removed from the code),

Otter Browser (Qt5 engine) is a nice, very fast and private browser, inspired by old Opera12, very lightweight, can be usefull for old PC or PC with few specs, same for the SSuite Netsurfer (WebKit2 and therefor only for Windows), both without sync, Brave, also privat, but without sync, apart shady practices with cryptocompanies and a fascistic CEO (donations to rightwing orgs, antivax and anti LGBT). Not very thrusworth at least for me.

Anyway, Blink is the current standard also for the most webpages, more and more optimized for this engine, like or not. There will be no other engines, because it is the most complex part of a browser and for this reason there have not been others for more than 20 years, where only the existing ones have been improved.

The rest depends on the taste and needs of each one.

Well, I don't provide any data, everything is encrypted end2end, nobody apart from me has access to them, especially Vivaldi. What's more, if I lose my Sync password, no one can recover the data, the price for privacy. But sync allows me not only to synchronize my data with my mobile or another PC where I have Vivaldi, it is also a Backup that allows me to recover all my settings, bookmarks, passwords, notes, etc. when i change the pc. I just have to install Vivaldi, enter my account and in seconds I have the browser back with all the data and settings as on the old PC. This is what the syncfunction is for. https://i.vgy.me/JHJ0qc.png
