Happy I left google 90% and I am trying to leave the services that I cannot change my email or require a Google account
My last bastions of Google are:
- Email. Its rock solid stable, but I know they are using it to mine data. This is a good service...but im still looking at proton at some point to make the switch. Or coming up with a solution myself.
- Maps. Maps is also another really good service they give out for free. I have tried a huge number of alternatives, but still have no real alternative. OSM+ is the closest and works really well in emergencies but its pretty terrible at searching for anything specific to get to.
- Youtube. This is the one I think I can possibly remove at some point. Some creators have their videos on other sites so it might be a mishmash for a while. But the best ones dont. I might just get into audio-books or some other sort of entertainment. Peertube is also a great alternative. And throwing money at !tilvids@mstdn.social might be better in the long run.
Ironically their search has taken a turn for the worse, so other sites are much better in my opinion.
For me it's prob
Google play store: Cannot DEGoogle phone at this time
Gmail (partially and currently moving)
Youtube (idk if this counts but a frontend am using to watch yt videos)
Google maps partially (only for streetview Usally)
Fdroid is pretty good, I get most of my apps from there by now. I don't game on my phone though.
yeah same tbh
