Or... Avoid Google products unless absolutely necessary,
I can honestly say I don't hit any front-end Google server for a few days to a week at a time. Occasionally I look some obscure technical issue that only Google search finds and that's usually when I break my streak. Otherwise, there are plenty of alternatives to get you 80% of the way there functionally without touching Google with a 10-ft pole.
Of course, and despite my best efforts, my browser probably hits a lot of back-end Google servers - you know, the gstatic.com, google.com and such that other websites inflict on you and you can't avoid half of the times without breaking the site.
