Decentralised alternatives
Decentralised, free and open alternatives that adhere closer to the Ethical Design Manifesto:
- The libraries hosted by Google can all be self-hosted on your own server. By doing so, you will avoid exposing the people who trust you to tracking by Google, Inc. You will also helping to decentralise the web.
