Congratulation! familiar list. The workload was quite surprising, wasn't it? How many google/gmail logins you had to change? Youtube to freetube? Or how you going with that?

To me META was quite hard to cut off because there is not really alternative to whatsapp. However META is probably the most toxic from those 5 so it felt best.

Also make sure to uninstall the Facebook app from your devices as well as any other Meta owned apps like Instagram. It was somewhat recently discovered they are using it as a backdoor to your web browsing history on any websites with Meta plugins, even when the browser isn't tracking you directly. Though GrapheneOS should prevent that communication between apps if you don't give the web browser extra permissions, better to be safe.

Congratulations. Only moving away from Google entirely took me 3+ years. You really killed this fast.

If you still use your Google account to synchronize your contacts and calendar, you can move them to Nextcloud too.

Welcome! that's quite a list of changes and i am impressed how fast you're freeing yourself from shit platforms.

You hit a lot of good checklist items, well done.

Great! All of these are great alternatives, but I would replace Firefox with librewolf.

I've #degoogled a lot, but Graphene is not an option. Waiting on a Harmony NextOS phone so I can dump Android altogether. I've seen some high end Huawei phones in my area sporting it, but am waiting for something I can afford from Xiaomi, OPPO or Vivo. I'd rather hand my data to the Chinese than Google and 5-Eyes.

what did you use for your 2fa codes? Most of mine are in google authenticator and I would likely need to migrate them first.

I'd use Firefox too... LibreOffice to get an office suite. DuckDuckGo is still feeding Google - sadly.

Anyone have good alternatives to Google Sheets? I don't even care about the social features. I gave LibreOffice Calc a shot and it was super frustrating. Seems like maybe CryptPad is my best bet as far as open source goes?

If you're in need of GPS for android auto, I recommend organic maps as an entirely offline and privacy respecting alternative to Google maps.

Awesome, how do yoi like the Graphene experience? I just switched from Samsung to a Pixel and installed Graphene as soon as I got it. Still getting used to things, and still using some Google services and apps. Have you found good replacements for things like Android Auto and RCS for text messages (not that I can get RCS working yet in any case)?

NextCloud and Ente look interesting, I need to check those out for Photos and Drive alternatives.

Thanks for sharing this list. Bookmarking for when I'll be doing the same.

Damn boi good on you. Welcome to the degoogled fam

Try NextDNS too. It routes to private DNS instead of using Google's, and it also lets you use blocklists. There are specific google and facebook blocklists, along with many other. You can see the logs and notice how much Google stalks you all over the Internet! It also shows you info about trackers that see you, even if you didnt block them, and gives you the option to block those too. Logs show blocked trackers as well. Good job, btw!
