This sounded harder to do than it was in my experience. I figured the alternatives to their products would be less polished. But I switched to Firefox and honestly prefer it to Chrome. (They allow extensions on Android, meaning adblock, which is a game changer for me.) DDG for search is great. Protonmail for email is fine, etc. There isn't much in the Google ecosystem that I miss tbh.
For me is google docs and maps.
If you need online office and maps then there's Microsoft Office and Bing Maps. Office is an excellent product, well worth the few bucks a month.
AFAIK, Office is fairly good about privacy.
The only thing I have problems finding something that works is Google maps. As an Android user there are a few different options but Google did make a damn good maps app.
