I started in March this year, and so far these have been my changes:

  • Google Drive -> Filen.io
  • Google Photos -> EntePhotos
  • Google Gmail -> Proton (not 100% yet)
  • Google Translator -> Offline Translator and Mozhi
  • Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap
  • Google PlayStore -> AuroraStore / F-Droid
  • Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
  • Youtube -> Before PipePipe but now Morphe Youtube

And anothers changes outside of google:

  • ChatGpt -> Duck.ai
  • Spotify -> ArchiveTune
  • Chess.com -> LiChess
  • Netflix -> Jellyfin
  • GitHub -> Codeberg
  • Reddit -> Morphe Reddit and Lemmy
  • Twitter -> Mastodon and Bsky
  • I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok

its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good

I did the same: sat on a lot of these resource alternatives to prep for the transition. Turns out these are just proofs of concept and there are soo many more alternatives out there, including use cases that the big guys don't create for. It becomes as simple as searching forums or asking ai for a "genuinely foss, privacy-respecting app compatible with GrapheneOS that does x."
