It is crazy how embedded Google is with our lives. Everything I use has some degree of connection to Google! Waymo, certain AI's, productivity software, laptops, phones, etc.

It is not easy to move your email from gmail to proton but you can start the process today. It is much easier to change your browser setting to make Duckduckgo your search engine. Google is a parasitic rentseeking market manipulating monopoly that needs to be broken up.

I moved off of google 12 years ago. It has always been easy to do, just takes time. They offer no advantage, only downsides.

Not so easy to avoid using Android over which Google enjoy monopolistic power. I use Linux 90% of the time and rarely use Android but for some applications there is no alternative. ( I dont see Apple as an alternative) Google will also be harvesting datas on you if you ever watch Youtube or use any of their other subsidiaries. Long over due that Google were locked up and broken up. Trouble is US government is now owned by these rentseeking internet Godkings.
