Same here, switched to proton mail and made duck duck go default search engine, downloaded waze for maps. Bout to scrub all big tech from my life, Amazon is next.
I don't know of any. Of course, I don't have a modem in my computer.
I first accessed them with a 300 baud modem and a Radio Shack Color Computer in the late 80s. I was running up quite a phone bill back then, as I was looking through the lists in Computer Shopper and calling all over the country to ones that sounded interesting.
When I got a PC, I used ProComm, which had a log feature. I have text logs of everything that crossed my screen online from 1988 to the mid-90s and my first internet account in 1996.
I never heard of vogons, but I just looked and it seems to have a lot of info about hardware I used in the past (stored away). But I don't see anything about BBS's.
If it's not on the web, might it be telnet? I used that in the very early internet days. It was neat to actually be commanding a computer in Germany or some other place through the internet.
Been using DDG all last year, my coworker laughed when he saw it was my default browser, instead of Google. I hate when people use the phrase “google is your friend”... they’re not!
Brave is fantastic
I’m using it now, supposedly it saves power on mobile devices. It’s already blocked 620 trackers and ads since this morning.
It doesn't supposedly, it absolutely saves power and data by not downloading a bunch of ads or responding to tracking.
also got it thanks!
Brave is wonderful! I also switched to proton mail for my email. I love both.

Every one I've ever been one is gone now. Try going to Rusty n Edie's BBS now. :)

Yes I'm old. But I try to keep up.
I do have all my old hardware, just in case.
How would you connect to an old dial-up BBS?

Did exactly that the other day and don't plan on looking back.
I downloaded the browser but then my phone quickly asked what search engine I wanted as the default. Wtf.
I use duck duck go.
I'm using Brave right now. It seems to be okay. It imported my old bookmarks in a flash and adds new ones better than Firefox does.
Just downloaded. Duck duck go won’t even let me open freerepublic.com
Chromium is a nice backup for Brave. Good not to have a single point of failure.
How does this compare to duck duck go?
You can use ddg within brave, you set it up in the beginning.
I'm loving Brave so far!
Brave browser is great!
Been using it since Wednesday - it's quite good! Mobile is even better! Use DuckDuckGo as your search engine!

Been using. Recommend.
