It is very easy to get rid of Google, at least for the kind of person on HN. Search -> DuckDuckGo Drive -> Own networked file server Phone -> Flash Graphene on your Pixel Browser -> Firefox Email -> Host your own (this is the hardest) Youtube -> uBlock Origin (for Firefox), logged out The last one isn't really a replacement, but Google certainly isn't making any money. Now do the same with Apple and Microsoft by running Linux on your machines and you are close to 100% free of big tech.
