  • Google Photos -> EntePhotos
  • Google Gmail -> Proton (not 100% yet)
  • Google Translator -> Offline Translator and Mozhi
  • Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap
  • Google PlayStore -> AuroraStore / F-Droid
  • Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
  • Youtube -> Before PipePipe but now Morphe Youtube

And anothers changes outside of google:

  • ChatGpt -> Duck.ai
  • Spotify -> ArchiveTune
  • Chess.com -> LiChess
  • Netflix -> Jellyfin
  • GitHub -> Codeberg
  • Reddit -> Morphe Reddit and Lemmy
  • Twitter -> Mastodon and Bsky
  • I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok

its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good

fossify phone, I don't think you can handle this spam for him yet but it doesn't bother me because I rarely get that kind of call. And Morphe is a app to apply patches in Reddit and YouTube apps to remove ads, tracking and another improvents. their site: https://morphe.software/

Fossify phone is great, minus when my screen is off in my pocket and I get a call (90%of my calls) I pull my phone out and it doesn't light up, no draw over lock screen, so I have to hurry and click on phone icon to wait for the notification to load.
