The practical way is to stay the fuck away from Google - completely. At least for me it didn't take an effort. The only Google app/service I have not been able to find an alternative for is Google Maps so I use that without logging in (no, in my geographic location there is no option - Apple Maps is worse than pathetic here and OSM apps are fancy things to install and uninstall once in a while).
