    Google Search -> Duckduckgo

    Google Android -> Graphene OS, Callyx OS, Lineage (all are more or less degoogelt android. the former 2 really easy to install. Havent tried lineage for a while)

    Google drive -> nextcloud

    Google maps -> open streetmap (osmand+, organic maps etc) and for navigation with live updates magic earth

    Google mail -> proton mail, posteo, …

    Chrome -> firefox

    What else do you use from Google?

    In the past years all these non Google products have evolved a lot. 10years ago one needed to be a nerd and spend a lot of time to implement all this but now its really easy to switch, user interfaces and documentations improved a lot.

      open streetmap and magic earth have the disadvantage that public transit it not supported. For that i use the local public transit apps. That works very well and shows in most cases more alternatives to the current route than google can

        At least for the frontend, I’d recommend NewPipe on mobile and Freetube on desktop. Maybe even Youtube Revanced on mobile as an alternative

        It’d be nice to have a good alternative, the best FOSS one right now is Peertube, I believe

        Then I misinterpreted you. I read unfortunately there are no Google alternatives except for browser and thought you would be happy to hear there are alternatives. Especially since you mentioned Google android. And I am so happy using degoogelt android… sorry for misunderstanding.

          You missed the “for my use case” part. I won’t go into all the details, but browser and search are pretty much the only things that I can ditch at the moment.

          Unfortunately, degoogled Android is still… Android. That OS has been made considerably less fun and enjoyable over the last few years by Google themselves, regardless of any of their additional services. :(
