It's time to start replacing Google in your life.

Chrome -> Firefox

Search -> DuckDuckGo

Gmail -> ProtonMail (not strictly, but my recommendation)

Docs -> OnlyOffice

YouTube -> Use NewPipe if you have Android. There's BitChute but it has a lot of right-wing crap.

Play Store -> F-Droid (if using Android)

Google Drive -> Dropbox

Google Maps -> HERE WeGo, or Mapquest

Google News -> Yahoo! News

I’ve been using YouTube via RSS feeds for a while. Requires no logins or anything to youtube, and I can still get the content only available there like Sixty Symbols and Numberphile. It’s great!

For a YouTube alternative I'd recommend hooktube, which is basically Startpage for YouTube. With an appropriately hardened browser it should be fine; if the Bitchute crowd is who Google is removing from YT, I'd say their doing something right for once.

The Qanon crap is literally a 4chan prank.
