Downloaded ProtonMail, got overwhelmed, went back to Gmail. The problem wasn't you—it was treating it like a product swap instead of a system change.
Search, email, maps, photos, Android, Chrome, YouTube. Google has inserted itself into every corner of your digital life, making it nearly impossible to avoid.
Every month you delay, another month of emails, photos, and documents gets harder to migrate. The lock-in is by design.
It's built for real people who want a clear, practical path, not a tech overhaul. Walk through exactly what to replace, what to keep (for now), and how to contain Google when you can't cut it out completely.

Private search engines and browser alternatives
Migrate from Google Drive to encrypted alternatives
Navigate privately with reliable alternatives
