Not the person you're replying to but hopefully useful information: I stopped using Google services incrementally over the past year or so. I started with this distro on my 5x (but had difficulty getting updates to work) and eventually moved to an iPhone. In the last few months I've switched to DuckDuckGo for search, Firefox for browsing and offline Open Street Maps for navigation. I still have a gmail account but I only check it about once per month, if that. I suspect I'll export my data from it soon and close it. It was tricky in places and fiddly in others, but overall I'm happy that I'm doing a reasonable amount to keep Google out of my life without being inconvenienced now. A piecemeal approach certainly worked for me, so I'd certainly recommend that to minimise impact for anyone thinking of doing the same.
