I hate Google. I hate their products. I hate everything about them.
Help me and others de-google our lives by suggesting and discussing the best Google alternatives.

You can't de-Google, you can't stop giving your info away, in order to do that you have to disconnect off the internet homie.

well i'd like to do it as little as possible

My next phone will be another iPhone. Apple feels less evil at this point.
>>
>>107085926
yep, same
and apple still cares about the user experience (mostly) as its' their whole thing
google absolutely doesn't give a fuck about the user experience

can iphones get a 4chan app and open webms?
i remember a million years ago when i had an iphone these things didn't exist for apple yet, but that was a long time ago

>>107085978
>4chan app
Unnecessary, just use Safari.
>webms
4chan had a native mobile webm player BEFORE Apple had any webm support, so it was never an issue.
>>
>>107086068
oh, funny. i specifically remember webms not working on my old phone, but i might be misremembering

Don't tell anyone but yandex search is actually good. They really don't give a fuck about anything so they just show you the shit you are looking for. I came to that conclusion after trying every search engine out there.

>>107086048
>>107086062
i did this, and use syncthing for local "cloud" between multiple devices, firefox, proton ecosystem, etc.

Google it.

You're correct, it didn't used to work, they're misinformed.

I find the best way to do this is to be as racist as possible. Look at the CEO, is he indian? Fuck their product. Look at their advertising, is it full of brown people? Fuck their product.
Works pretty good for me so far.
>>
>>107086224
I'm not misinformed. 4chan has a native webm player on iphone Safari, and always has for as long as I've been phone browsing.

Is there an anonymous frontend for it like startpage or duckduckgo?

Bro, i from RF, you won't like it if you live in Russia and Russia knows what you've been doing online. There will be dirt on you, and if you're, say, a programmer and want to leave the country, they can use this dirt to justify why they won't let you out. Almost anyone can be declared a foreign agent. It's better to use Linux and Tor, preferably always through tunnels. P.S.-caлют py чeлaм нa фoчe

Start by closing any account that ties you to google. Even third party services where you've used gmail or whatever.
Then avoid chromium and all its derivatives as much as possible. Use some fork of Firefox without Mozilla's telemetry which is just google telemetry by another name.
And that's it. Use the internet as little as possible. Use FOSS apps as containers like Newpipe/invidious for youtube. Obviously don't use google search. Block and delete cookies as much as possible.
You can't really avoid them but the data they get from you gets useless very fast.
>>
>>107087697
The only good Firefox fork is Waterfox

>but how do you install dark reader on this shit? do you guys just exist in a world of light mode? that sounds awful!
holy fuck that was dumb. I had to git clone them, zip them, and then drag and drop them into chrome://extensions/ with dev mode turned on. they don't make it easy to degoogle I'll give them that much. It's lame they don't even make little release zips you can just install.
>>
>>107087710
I personally don't like any Firefox fork. But there's many usable forks out there free of Mozilla's bullshit.
>>
>>107085320
How do I migrate off gmail, and where do I go to? All my accounts everywhere else rely on it.

Chrome --> LibreWolf, Brave, Firefox (for any site not supporting the previous 2)
Google Search --> Startpage, Yandex
Google Drive --> ProtonDrive, personal backups
YouTube --> Odysee, Rumble

If on Android Phone
Google Search and Chrome --> Startpage (also acts as a browser)
Android Keyboard --> FUTO Keyboard

You don't have to do all, but you can take pieces of the pie away.
>>
>>107088827
>FUTO
ah yes, i use that in addition to >>107086167. i did use heliboard and sayboard but recently discovered FUTO and decided to try it for a while. the only thing i miss is being able to add top/bottom of page buttons to the tools which helps when you write in large documents. the FUTO speech to text engine is much more accurate but it waits until you're finished before it processes and produces the text, as opposed to real time as you speak it. the accuracy improvement is worth the sacrifice though.

I switched to the Fairphone6 with e/OS and I'm pretty happy overall. My main gripe is that the camera sucks compared to the Pixel 7 but the user serviceable battery (just two screws, no glue) is awesome and I get really good battery life compared to the Pixel 7.
I guess it's a pussy repellent but I'm not interested in people who like me because of my choice of phone. I remember people being really weirdly friendly when they saw my high end phone years ago and that made me feel really weird. Normies are weird and not in a good way.
>>
>>107088827
what's your opinion on duckduckgo for search and e/OS for the Fairphone?
>>
>>107085926
Apple is evil af. They literally turned into a (((bank)))
>>
>>107090107
they are also really bad at security or have unethical employees who leak personal data from their customers.
>>
>>107090106
DuckDuckGo is a good start, but I've heard some bad press, plus the "we're going to control results about Ukraine" leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
e/OS looks good, haven't tried it personally

>>107085320
Against the telemetry of FAGMAN, there can be no escape. Your smartphone phones to Google, so does the internet with google APIs, so does the browser with telemetry, so does anything that uses chromium, so do ads.

>Against the telemetry of FAGMAN, there can be no escape
wrong, demoralization shill
>Your smartphone phones to Google
So don't get a Google phone
>so does the internet with google APIs
so block them
>so does the browser with telemetry
so use a better browser that doesn't phone home to Google
>so does anything that uses chromium
Tor browser, Firefox
>so do ads
This retard is raw dogging ads lmao. Are you a zoomer?
>>
>>107091559
>You might as well shovel all your data straight towards Google's servers. It's not worth closing your accounts and limiting their ability to see absolutely everything you do online. I mean, you might accidentally download a Google cookie or something. Oh no!
True! You also shouldn't lock the doors to your house, like ever, because what if someone just uses a tactical nuke to blast away your walls? It's completely useless
