My personal Google replacement apps/services
Because what they are really selling is you, to advertisers. Which means the information they're showing to you, and the information you're storing on their services benefits paying advertisers more than it benefits you.
I know there are probably others out there, and lots of people probably know about these already but these are the ones that have worked for me, personally. If you want to switch away from google, try these out.
Search: Kagi. Yes, I spend $10 a month on this. Yes, it's worth it for ACTUAL USEFUL SEARCH RESULTS. That I can trust aren't at the top of the search because they paid money to the search company. Without adds. With listicles in their their own little section.
Mail & Calendar: Proton Mail and Calendar. Free/paid upgrade. Works pretty similar to google mail and calendar, more limited unless you pay, but the paid accounts are pretty cheap, and the free versions are 100% useable. They do not store your encryption code/password, so they cannot look at your information. Plus if they start saving money on how a particular service runs, THEY LOWER PRICES. Love that.
Maps: Magic Earth. Free on android (dunno about iPhone). Gives you a lot more information on the map than google maps. Perfectly good navigation while driving. Just picked this one up yesterday, but I'm really loving it so far.
