What google services do you use? Which are you finding hard to replace? I'm pretty much degoogled except for using YouTube. Kagi for search, Fastmail for mail (I played with Hey for awhile but they are so backwards in client features), Orion for a browser, Microsoft Authenticator, Mac calendar, iCloud office suite, iCloud photos, and Apple Maps.

As I mentioned, YouTube is pretty hard to replace as there is nothing else like it currently. Vimeo is not as open, Facebook, TikTok, X and others have their weird problems too.




Microsoft Authenticator, but why?

Of all these, Google Maps is the hardest for me to replace. It is the only I haven’t.


I already have to use MS Auth for work.
