It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

    Would you be able to let us know the services you used, the replacements, and how did the migration process work?

      • LineageOS: Degoogled Android rom
      • Aurora Store: Google Play Store alternative
      • NewPipe, Odysee, Peertube: YouTube alternatives
      • Firefox: Chrome/Chromium alternative
      • SearXNG: Meta search engine
      • Linux/BSD: Windows alternatives
      • Bitwarden: Password manager & 2FA client
      • OpenStreetMaps (OsmAnd): Google maps replacement

      Seconded.

      Without a single word on replacements for email, calendar, phone, etc… this post is pretty much useless to everyone else than the OP.
