    I use DuckDuckGo for search. Has worked well for me.

    Other than that, I’m mostly on Apple devices so I use their alternatives. Gmail is the one I haven’t been able to get away from. I use it in too many places now.

    I just switched from Chrome to Brave, and then shortly after from Brave to Vivaldi. Search engine is now Startpage.com, which while slower than Google, it’s been bringing up decent results. Unfortunately I still use quite a few Google-centric apps, so hopefully I’m able to discover more options as time goes on.

    Google Voice - Cheogram

    Search - Duck Duck Go or Start Page

    Contacts - NextCloud

    Calendar - NextCloud

    Tasks - Task.Org

    Keep - Joplin

    Maps - Magic Earth

    Passwords & Sign In - Bitwarden or Keepass

    Docs & Sheets - Open Office

    Gmail - Proton or Tutanota

    Dialer - Simple Dialer

    Files - Material Files

    Chrome - Firefox

    YouTube - Peertube

    Photos - NextCloud

    Bookmarks - NextCloud, Floccus, or XBrowsersync

    I use all of these but I still have to use Google Voice and Maps because they are just superior to everything else that I have tried imo. And I sometimes use gmail too because certain website logins are locked to my old Gmail’s.
