I use Firefox on desktop and mobile, I use DDG, stopped using Google Analytics but I sadly still use Gmail and Android. I degoogled the east things (e.g. GA and Chrome) but getting totally rid off Google is hard.


> getting totally rid off Google is hard

Sometimes impossible in my case. Google Drive is always used in any collaborative project; so is Google Colab and Google Meet. And I still have the instinctual drive to reach for Google Translate/Maps, because it's so easy to access (physically and mentally).

Google google google google google...


Google Meet is easy to replace. Look at jitsi or MiroTalk. Google Maps, not so much...


The very last Google service I still use is YouTube, and I'm looking to leave that very soon.
