While I agree on this, I think Ungoogled Chromium could be a soft way to degoogle yourself while maybe looking for complete replacements. It took me almost 2 weeks to degoogle me almost totally, at the beginning having a minimum of compatibility is nice
The only Google thing holding me back from full degoogling is YouTube, but with how garbage the platform is becoming, especially with the algorithm just going berserk and it probably not being long until I start being affected by the adblock-block, I think moving away from it is only going to be easier than ever before.
Since I feel you, and since I have a lot of nice subs on youtube, I feel like suggesting something like Piped as a privacy focus frontend or, if you are more of a standalone app person, FreeTube as a privacy focus client.
Technically we are still using YouTube, but at least there is less food for the algo.
