I've never used Chrome except for checking compatibility for my websites. Firefox has been my main browser since 0.whatever. I have my email hosted on fastmail, using their web interface.

This was because of online advocacy that you are questioning. google maps was the killer app for me, but I've been using the here wego app on my phone and it is 90% as good. the main irritation is that every time it does an update it seems to reset all of my preferences. This was because of online advocacy that you are questioning. I'd be free of google except (and this is a big exception) I use an android phone. I don't want to participate in the apple ecosystem.
