Search engines (MUCH better privacy than Google): Ecosia https://www.ecosia.org/ StartPage https://www.startpage.com/ Qwant https://www.qwant.com/

FatsMail for email https://www.fastmail.com/


I don't use it, but if you want to get serious about getting away from Google and you're into blockchain and decentralization, there is: https://arcaneoffice.com/

Are the office/workspace features what you wanted to replace?

Duckduckgo for search, Lavabit for email service, Mutt for email client, /e/ for my phones OS, Firefox for my browser.

Other than those, I don't really use anything google has a foot in.



I started using Fathom instead of Google Analytics.


I use Hey.com for E-mail / G-Mail replacement. Huge fan of the "The Feed" and "The Papertrail" organization boxes. As email has become more of a dumpster fire, being able to curate the things I actually want to look at has made using e-mail a pleasure. - the feed, especially as I use it for newsletters I subscribe to.
