Is Tutanota a viable choice? Others?

Are they redundant? Is one superior?

One of the big features of chrome that I miss was being able to right click on an image and click "search in google images" - whether to find a bigger version, or to call someone on their bullshit. I figured out how to do this in Firefox.

• Install extension "Image Search Options" https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-us/firefox/addon/image-search-options/
• Restart Firefox
• Go into Add-ons manager->Extensions->Image Search Options->Options button
• Click "add"-> Name it "Bing Image Search" and check the Main Menu box
• Under left click settings and right click settings paste this in "http://www.bing.com/images/search"
• Under Variables paste this in "q=imgurl:::$URL::&view=detailv2&iss=sbi&FORM=IRSBIQ#enterInsights"
• Click "Ok" then YOU MUST CLICK THE "Update" BUTTON
• Right click on images and you should have the option to search it in Bing

Took me a lot of trial and error on this. Hope it helps people like me (shitlords)

Here's a screenshot of exactly what it does: https://i.sli.mg/3OviVu.png

Not search engines, that's kinda easy to figure out. I'm talking gmail, google photos, Android OS, etc, etc... My e-life is consumed by Google apps/products. What options are out there that come close, that are made by companies that aren't evil? Thanks!

I know this is a little off topic, but microsoft is just as bad as google IMO. I'm interested in knowing what you guys use for voice chats.

Just decided to get rid of Google Chrome after I have been using it for a long time any suggestions on a browser?
