Google "Only spy the web" is highly inaccurate...they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps...

Anyways... I will calm down now. :)

And not just google stuff, the big companies are for sure in exchange so if you do something on instagram, google will know it for sure.

Therefor im trying to step away from google, here are my alternatives to the google services:

Google drive -> Nextcloud Gmail -> Tutanota Youtube -> (im still using this) Maps -> Open Street Map Authenticator -> Aegis Chrome -> Librewolf/Firefox Passwords -> Bitwarden

(All of these alternatives are just my own preferences and what I daily use)

For youtube, there's libre frontends like newpipe and piped (but of course you are still using youtube)
