Just be aware that Google runs a lot of other integral services that hoover up data anyway and are practically unavoidable for modern life. For example, I blocked all domains including google and I was then unable to use local rent listing websites, unable to comment on forums, and unable to browse university research publication lists, because they were captcha blocked. In fact one of the only upsides of Apps I see is that they tend to avoid captchas. They fail in a nasty way too - nobody expects you to block them - so you'll simply see blank pages, etc. Likewise for Firebase which it seems 40% of startups use.
