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?

I suggest you check out Runbox as another alternative webmail service. You get the first month free to try it out before having to pay for the subscription. I've recently switched my mail from Gmail to Runbox.
