But good on you for avoiding their services, i do the same (however, i still use Google maps regularly for navigation because Apple maps has let me down too often). I also watch youtube.
Regarding video game consoles, you could get an older one that has no cloud connectivity. They are cheap and the games are still great.
- Izkata 4y agoHe mentioned Invidious, which is an alternate frontend to youtube: https://invidious.io/ https://invidious.io/ Basically the same as the search engines he mentioned that rely on google, but he doesn't use google directly.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoTry OSM. It is more reliable than google in performance now, believe it or not. Address lookup is a shortcoming, and there's this https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation to help you get around that, and sometimes the routing algorithm used by Osmand in particular can be goofy from time to time, I can't speak to other clients. Finally, there's traffic, which is not a problem that can be resolved without collecting and processing data from all users, which I find unethical and so will live without.
