one is based on Chromium and is not open source, the other is a Firefox fork and is open source. LibreWolf definitely focuses more on privacy with a more anti fingerprinting stuff.

In my area, most of the streets, public transit, etc. are all labelled. I usually don’t type out the full addresses, just the names of the building/street/place. I personally use CoMaps (a fork of Organic Maps created to be more community-led) and it all works fine. I downloaded the maps in my area and, before travelling anywhere, download the maps for where I’m going. Offline maps are great!
I have a really weird thing where I actually like switching between different email providers every couple years or so. Maybe it’s because I don’t receive too many emails, but I find changing the email all my important accounts and forgetting about all the ones I don’t use anymore refreshing.
First I tried Proton Mail, then moved to Tutamail, but I didn’t like both as they did not support IMAP out of the box so I couldn’t use things like Thunderbird. I then moved to “Disroot”, which was decent and supported IMAP, but now I use one called “Autistici”. Another good one I would recommend is mailfence, which I set up for a family member once.
switching to linux! (an upgrade in general usability too)
self-hosting nextcloud, immich, radicale, and vikunja to replace google drive/pcloud, google photos, not having a synced calendar at all (never used gcal), and todoist. Only downside with Vikunja is there’s no mobile app (only a work-in-progress one that doesn’t seem to have been updated in years) so I have a shortcut to the website instead. Works fine for me :D
Using local mp3s instead of Spotify (offline listening is awesome!)
RSS feeds to catch up on news
using foss alternatives: inkscape instead of illustrator, OSM instead of GMaps, joplin for notes, etc.
not using gmail
Another good one I like is Floorp. The largest downside to me is the foxless icon, but other than that, it offers a bunch of UI customisation and has Mozilla’s telemetry stuff disabled by default. If you want something more privacy-focused and/or don’t like that there is no fox in the icon, go for LibreWolf (wolves are just as cool as foxes!)
