Google sucks.
Here are 6 alternatives to Google products that work great and actually respect your privacy 👇
1. De-Google Your Browsing
If you're using Google Chrome, basically everything you're doing in your browser is tracked, recorded, and sent off to Google HQ and their advertising chums.
This is an easy one — use a privacy-respecting browser like @brave.
youtu.be
2. De-Googling Your Search
Every search you make on Google is used to add data to the profile that they have built on you. It's creepy, gross, and easy to avoid.
Another easy one — use @DuckDuckGo or @mojeek.
3. De-Google Your E-Mail
If you use Gmail, your emails are not private.
Switch to an end-to-end encrypted email provider like @ProtonMail or @TutaPrivacy so ensure that you and the person you're talking to are the only people who can read your conversation.
4. De-Google Your Android Device
Did you know that even if you use an Android smartphone, you can use an open source OS that doesn't rely on Google services?
Check out @GrapheneOS to learn more.
5. De-Google Your Video Streaming
For a more private video streaming experience, consider using @OdyseeTeam, which is a decentralised platform that allows content creators to earn directly from viewers.
6. De-Google Your Map
Ditch Google Maps for @openstreetmap.
Simple, straight forward online maps with none of the data harvesting.
