Google is not too evil presently, but nothing is guaranteed and the amount of data they have gives them more power than most nation states. So on principle I've been degoogling. Here are my approaches:
search: duckduckgo
android: copperheados (dead ended, waiting for puri.sm librem 5 on order)
chrome: firefox, containers, uMatrix. Isolated usages of chrome w/o logging in.
gmail: fastmail
youtube: peertube
docs/sheets: local software (libreoffice)
reCaptcha: isolated chrome usage w/o logging in, or I avoid the website and email the webmaster.
fonts: uMatrix block them, I live with the fallback fonts. On my sites I host the fonts locally.
analytics: uMatrix blocks it. I don't need it myself.
maps: OSM or other mapping websites
earth: [never needed it]
sky?: [never needed it], stellarium
I'll know that I'm invisible to them once my family members start getting funeral service advertisements. Unfortunately, they can still see me.
