On becoming anti Google, I blocked Google's ASNs (shortcut to block all their IP addresses) on my router the other day as an experiment. It's a little eye-opening.

Obviously you immediately realise just how often you !g in DDG, use Google Flights, YouTube etc. Ok easy enough to fix

Then of course I can't use Play Store (Aurora didn't work either) so my phone would have eventually become quite obsolete

You can't compile many Go projects because the dependencies are pulled from Google

And if you had ALL of Google's ASNs that would include GCP and that's a whole other level of being cut off
