Hello! I would like to take some distance from Google because I don’t like its hegemony over the internet. I’ve switched from chrome to Firefox, I’ve stopped using it as a search engine and I’ve started using duckduckgo for starters, but I’m a bit more lost on how to replace its other services. What are yours alternatives to Google? I’ve heard about proton mail to replacement Gmail, how is it? Do you know something to replace maps and drive?

    Replacement for maps: apple maps, bing maps, openstreetmaps

    Replacement for drive: OneDrive, box.net, Dropbox, nextcloud, your own Fritzbox Router with NAS enabled

      Not too sure how I feel about Bing and Apple Maps or OneDrive and Dropbox being referred to as alts in a privacy forum…But if ProtonMail is the GMail replacement, using ProtonDrive is an easy solution I’d say

          I’m glad you think so! I was pondering if Apple was practical as it has some privacy functions built in, but OSM is the top choice alt when the focus is privacy. Do you not agree?
