    Without having watched it, I’ll guess stopping it goes in the line of “little by little, but growing ever more independant from it”.

      That’s what I’m doing…

      Switch away from Google Chrome to Brave.

      Switch away from Google Search to DuckDuckGo.

      Get a free Proton account and start moving accounts.

      Use Waze instead of Google Maps, discover Waze is now owned by Google, buy a fucking atlas. Fuck this timeline.

      Next step/shit to figure out:

      Move my contacts off of Google.

      The Last Thing I’ll Do: Migrate Photos to a self-hosted solution.

        Ente Photos is a pretty good Google Photos replacement if you don’t want expend the effort for a full self-hosted solution yet

        I can recommend HereWeGo as an alternative to Maps. I switched two years ago and I am quite happy with it ever since.

          Installed. But, long term, how do they plan to pay their bills?

          Also, any advice for a text-to-speech engine on Graphene? Here We Go won’t talk to me without one.

            SherpaTTS is what I use for text to speech on GrapheneOS. Works fine with herewego.

        Try using CoMaps or Organic Maps. I prefer Co Maps over Organic Maps but each their own.

      You have so many Google trackers already from other sites and hosts that not visiting it is itself more information than visiting it

      Edit: forgot to add that I still appreciate you a lot I just mean if it’s for privacy, you likely have forgotten some fingerprint or script because it’s almost impossible to browse at all without doing so
