zoom.us for larger group video chats replacing Webex for me. Free of cost for most of my uses, easy to use (requires download, but is super easy) . It says it is end-to-end encrypted with a little lock icon when in use and encrypted.
Facetime occasionally on my iphone replacing cellphone calls to friends with an iphone. Apple says that it is end-to-end encrypted.
Thunderbird + Enigmail to sign all email, receive encrypted email, and sometimes sending encypted Email, with an organizational email server (archive.org not gmail). Enigmail is moderately hard to set up, I had help in a meetup. Cost free, and I believe free and open source software. I am donating.
encrypted notes file (the mac Notes app) on my mac for high priority secure notes. It syncs the encrypted file with my iphone via icloud.
Breadwallet, bitcoin wallet on my iphone, for whatsapp lead small amounts of bitcoin for casual purchases. Super easy and a full wallet (does not hang off a server). Love this wallet. Cost free. I invested a tiny amount of money in the company– great guys.

On Macintosh os/x it’s easy to turn on full disk encryption (FileVault). Go to the “Security and Privacy” setting and turn on FileVault. If you do, be sure *not* to accept its offer to store the key in iCloud. Write down the “recovery key”, and hide it somewhere away from the computer. the security of your normal login password, so if it’s lame, change it to something that can’t be guessed or brute forced easily.

Web search: DuckDuckGo or StartPage.com. (from a commenter, Reinout)
Any comments or ideas are welcome. I realize have traded off security for ease of use. I hope stronger tools get easier and I suggest we all invest in tools based on donations and development help. I wish I knew my mac and iphone were not compromised. Not sure how to do that.
