It's going to be more difficult than people realize to actually completely de-google yourselves.
Baby steps. - don't use google DNS - use other search - do not log on to Google account in browser
I am on the email and google drive steps. They are bigger steps.
Good luck, and thanks for the DNS tip I had forgot about that.
Switched to ProtonMail works pretty well for me. They also have VPN and just released a beta version of ProtonDrive. It will be more expensive, and probably technologically worse than joogle, but I don't care, I'll upgrade to a paid account as soon as their Drive goes out of beta.
Otherwise microsoft has mail and drive, if the goal is just to dejoogle.
Good for you. I have to migrate domain email from google. And my wife uses it. High, high risk operation - she is the one that checks email.
I am using Quad9 DNS. I want to do my own again one day... Quad9 is okay, they probably datamine you too but they are a little less semitic.
You are right, but it's just gonna get worse if we don't. We must be able to boycott at least one company, google (or some other one) otherwise we might not even deserve victory, because we're lazy fucks who don't want to sacrifice anything? Have to be honest I have not yet degoogled my smartphone completely, but that's because I'm gay. Next phone though...
Wait till your work gives you an android phone, you aren't allowed to wipe or de-google.
I leave that damn thing sitting on my work desk (work @ home) and it never goes anywhere.
Sounds like a wise decision.
I have greater problems. Web developer. Making sites that work on chrome. Optimizing with help from google lighthouse to get higher scoring in google search. company mail uses gmail. making apps to upload to google play store. n yea google analytics on top of that.
I should have badge on me saying "working with tools of satan" or "slave to google".
I'm afraid it's hard to not use google products as web developer, maybe there are nisch companies somewhere.
