I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌

My bad.

Gmail -> Proton Mail
Chrome -> Fennec (Firefox fork)
Google Photos -> Immich (Self Hosted)
Google Calendar -> TickTick
Google Drive -> Filen
YouTube -> YouTube Revanced
WhatsApp -> Nekogram (Telegram fork)

Instead of using YouTube, use PeerTube

You can't really replace YouTube's massive library yourself, the best you can do is avoid it but that's hard too. As for the frontend, there is

  • NewPipe/Tubular (Android, also supports Peertube, media.ccc.de, SoundCloud, Bandcamp)
  • Piped (web, very privacy-friendly)
  • Grayjay (Android and desktop, partially open source, support for many services including PeerTube and Odysee, $10 or guilt-tripping infinite free trial)
  • Revanced as mentioned above

I can recommend TubeSync, it’s a self hosted service to schedule regular download of selected content from YouTube. You can integrate it easily with Plex
