I've been meaning to switch off of Google for months now, but never had the time to properly research what exactly that entails

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I was primarily using Gmail and Youtube Music and the switch was fairly easy. Apple Music was a better replacement than the other competitors, and Proton Mail was super easy. Paying for both makes me "not the product, but an actual customer". Forwarded Gmail to Proton in about 30 seconds, and replaced Chrome with Firefox. Duck Duck Go isn't a "perfect" replacement for Google Search, but it's good enough.

It's NOT a valid reason not to switch, but god that's a dumb name for a product. Again, I don't understand why I hate the name, but I do. Please help me.
