  The only thing I used my google account for was email. There are many good alternatives – I myself have been happy with mailbox.org for years.

    their web email client continues to be ocular cancer for anyone who isn't already a daily Outlook user.

      I can't stand it nor GMail so I always use a good old local client (Mac Mail or Evolution).

  Here's one survey of alternatives: https://restoreprivacy.com/google-alternatives/ https://restoreprivacy.com/google-alternatives/ Personally, I use: * DDG for search. * gmx.com as my main email server (not sure it's that great for privacy, ProtonMail is probably better). * OpenStreetMap for maps (caveat: Some info is on Google Maps and not on there) * HereWeGo for car navigation * Thunderbird as my mail client + calendar * I don't publish videos, but otherwise probably PeerTube * IRC and Matrix for group chatting * F-Droid for FOSS mobile apps, Aurora for anonymous access to Google Play Store Not yet de-googlified: * I use an Android phone (albeit Chinese) * Still need a good alternative for Google Translate.

    GMX exposes your IP address in email headers.

      Well, I wasn't expecting it to hide my IP address. By default, the Received headers should show the chain of transmission back to my IP.
