Hello! I would like to take some distance from Google because I don’t like its hegemony over the internet. I’ve switched from chrome to Firefox, I’ve stopped using it as a search engine and I’ve started using duckduckgo for starters, but I’m a bit more lost on how to replace its other services. What are yours alternatives to Google? I’ve heard about proton mail to replacement Gmail, how is it? Do you know something to replace maps and drive?

    I’ve degoogled my desktop/laptop nearly completely, but are there any risks or downsides to using iOS/Apple’s default apps?

      I mean, once the journey starts it’s not long before Linux over MacOS or Windows is a no brainer. Being Android is Linux based allows for a degoolged option to be equivalent to a fork. But sure, iOS is more private and secure out the box vs Android, yet with a few minutes spent in settitngs, Android quickly wins out. Degoogling and FOSS options are two peas in a pod, so might as well also get a pixel with degoogled android and cover all basis.
