W10Privacy is a program that displays privacy and data protection settings in Windows 10 and 11, including apps such as Edge, so users can locate and change options otherwise hidden across many menus.

Awesome Privacy is a curated open source directory of privacy-respecting alternatives to everyday apps and services, organized into categories such as essentials, communication, security tools, networking, productivity, operating systems and development. It also offers saved items stored on-device and a changelog of new entries.
ProxyPal is a free web proxy that runs from the browser and lets users browse websites anonymously and reach blocked content.
