Good painless alternatives:

  • Chrome -> Firefox

  • Gmail/Calendar> Proton

  • Google Search -> Feels like all search engines got SEO'd into uselessness these days, but duckduckgo maybe.

Good but somewhat painful to switch alternatives:

  • Google Drive -> Proton

  • Office -> LaTeX/LibreOffice

  • ChromeOS -> Linux, yeah technically ChromeOS is also linux but come on, you know what I mean.

Less than ideal alternatives:

  • Maps -> Idk, not really many good options, apple maps is good too, but not sure if that's what you're looking for.

  • Android -> Idk, lol iOS, or de-googled android roms. Not many great alternatives there.

Is there anything else you need an alternative to?
