Shift your tech life to be less self-destructive, privacy invasive, world damaging.
Here's some ideas you can try - working for me at present. I expect some things will change over time.
Some are free. Some are not. Not selling your private data for advertising data inside a 'free' service means paying a little sometimes.
email - zoho currently (switch encryption on), cost effective to get started. Proton mail is probably better overall but is more expensive initially.
can use your own domain name for email, bought mine from namecheap
email client: thunderbird, android and pc.
Remember, for the things you really have to use Gmail for, switch of Smart Features in multiple places in Gmail.
calendar - Etar on android, connected zoho that comes with email service, can add other calendars as needed, including google.
Delete history in all Google services, this is part easy to find, part hidden. Include Google maps timeline recording and history.
android keyboard - tried many, ended up back with gboard but blocked it's internet access with NetGuard. Google doesn't need a copy of everything I type.
tasks - todoist
todo - todoist
notes - zoho (comes with email service)
android contacts - samsung contacts
android messages - samsung
browser - brave, enable sync between devices, no login required
search - duckduckgo
passwords - bit warden
X (twitter) - Bluesky (get control of the algorithm back). Side note, this was the last piece of social media I had left and even this I have disabled now. Being social media free is the best place to be.
Google sheets/docs - LibreOffice
PC Backup - Backblaze, plus syncback to sync files between PCs
youtube - there are free options if you search for them (e.g. grayjay, freetube) but adblocker can be ok also. Have greatly reduced view time generally anyway and it's sound.
spotify - media monkey on pc and android, get the pleasure of building your own music collection from cd's, mp3's etc
working on options for google drive - for now mostly just generally transferring files between devices manually
