My personal choices of ALTs to Google Services (+ some extensions I use)

I've been slowly de-googlifying everything currently so... here's some helpful things that can help you (or not! Idc do whatever you want) 

These are my own personal choices, so they may or may not be the top tier choices but these are the ones I like + most if not all are very privacy focused, so don't worry too much about you being tracked or whatever

(Will be updated once I find other alts to services I use!)

Default Search Engine:

Startpage

Whoogle

Default Browser:

Firefox + Betterfox (A script to help make Firefox more private and faster)

Ungoogled-Chromium (A chromium browser that gets rid of all of google's tracking)

Cloud storage (Google Drive):

Filen (By using my link to sign up, you'll be able to get 10gb free and I get 10gb free! Pretty cool huh?)

Google Docs, Spreadsheets, PDF editor etc:

LibreOffice

Google Keep:

Standard Notes (A bunch of features are pay-walled (like adding images), but if you want really simple note taking then this is really good)

Notesnook

Email:

Tutanota

Claws Mail

K-9Mail (Android phone-only I believe)

YouTube:

Invidious (Not really an "alt" to youtube (in the classic sense), but rather displays and plays all videos from YouTube without all the tracking and stuff, which means you can still watch all your favorite channels from YouTube to here without a problem! (Example: YouTube & Invidious)

These are extensions I use to make it more privacy friendly on the internet. Note that I use Firefox so these may not be on chromium-based browsers


Tampermonkey (for scripts only)

Important to mention ig that if you want 100% privacy it's probably better to self-host rather than relying on other services. But we all know we're not gonna do that so hey it's not that bad, at least there's the fuckers on GitHub :) (not sarcasm, gen)
