I'll jump in to give you my current big list of alternatives. Because you're going to have to protect your digital ass. If you have Chrome installed than back up your favorites and un-install it using the freeware version of Revo Uninstaller.

If you weren't using a third party password manager than you'll want to change all your different passwords.

If anyone has more suggestions hit me with a reply.

Email:

Secure Messenger Software:

  • Telegram (My pick) - Similar to What's App only independent, secure, & on all major platforms.

  • Signal - Secure FOSS messenger, only on iOS & Android.

  • BBM - Old school with a big user base, fully encrypted, & a feed system.

Browsers:

  • Brave (Blink) - by former Mozilla CEO. (My pick)

  • Vivaldi (Blink) - by former Opera devs.

  • Pale Moon (Goanna) - Firefox fork.

  • Midori (WebKit)

Password Managers:

Search Engines:

Youtube Alternatives:

  • note: If you're a serious content creator than I suggest mirroring your channel on several of these:

  • Live Leak (My pick) <- Post your videos here so they don't get deleted/censored.

  • vimeo <- A lot of original artistry content.

  • Vid.me <- Mirror every video here.

  • Gvid - An experiment for a low cost, content neutral replacement for Youtube.

  • metacafe

  • veoh

Alernate DNS: (Use one of these to help avoid various "filters" on European internet.)

Mobile OS Alternatives:

Social Media alternatives:

Alternet web technology:

  • I2P - The invisible internet project. Similar to TOR only more secure.

  • ZeroNet - Peer to Peer, Open, free and uncensorable websites.

  • IPFS - A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol.

  • Matrix - Matrix is an open standard for decentralised communication.

VPNs & Miscellaneous:

what do you use for addblock on brave

It's all built in so you don't need one. "No Script" is also built in as is HTTPS everywhere. You just have to adjust the security settings.

Brave only has a couple of add-ons right now, but Lastpass & Pocket are two of them so that's enough for me beyond what's built in.

Good times and thanks for the tips I've been trying to figure out how the hell to get out from under the monitored over web for the most part.

I2P - The invisible internet project.

Otherwise you'll need a paid VPN or maybe TOR. I know the US Government has figured out how to track TOR, I have no idea of your country of their tech skills.
