I'm looking for an alternative to duolingo, the main appeal for me of duolingo is the gamification of the app as this helps me to stay consistent (so just normal flashcards would not be suitable).

Thanks in advance

I am open to any suggestions or to add an services I missed! Suggestions are especially welcome on services with less than three current options

Is so lacking of good options and just wrong sometimes. Like for cloud storage the inly opition is proton mail??? ( not even proton drive) when there is filen and kerogen and others

Google chrome Gmail Google drive ChromeOS Android Google lens Google photos Google docs Google slides

But no proton or libre office. Let’s uncover some hidden gems

I’m stuck with what to choose. I prioritise speed and privacy

I guess i'm doing pros and cons for all of them now:

Startpage Pros - uses google's search results and anonymous view, eu based Cons - Bought my an ad company

Qwant Pros - eu based Cons - lots of ads, sometimes a bug where it is in france

DDG pros - faster than the other two, Cons - https://techrights.org/o/2020/07/02/ddg-privacy-abuser-in-disguise/
