      I know! For me, the hardest part was Google photos, that i eventually replaced with ente. But there is a reason why they have a market monopoly. By definition, it makes it difficult to find alternatives. But its possible!

      I now only use them when Qwant does not give satisfying results. Kagi is good too, although i have recently replaced it with qwant.

        What do you use for Maps? I am happy with a combination of Mappy and HereWeGo.

          I’m mostly using herewego. I believe that I tried mappy but it didn’t have traffic updates for my region? Not sure 🤔 I went through so many!

            Thanks! I usually try to use Organic Maps, but Here We Go seems to be very nice.

              Oooh, Organic Maps works well at least local to me, thanks for the recommendation.

              If i can drop Google Maps, the only Google related things I would still be using are Revanced Youtube and GrapheneOS.

              Search I moved to Ecosia which is still Bing. Hopefully not for much longer given their most recent relevant announcement about making their own euro indexer/engine teaming up with Qwant.

                I love organic maps! I used Google when organic wasn’t able to find certain addresses. I travel for work and sometimes organic isn’t great for weird places.

                I use PipePipe for YouTube. I really like that app. I haven’t tried Revanced Youtube.

                Oh nice. I primarily use DuckDuckGo, but I do use Leta occasionally. I’ll have to check Qwant out as well. Thanks!
