To follow up on my post from last night about de-Googling here is the list I promised with ethical alternatives to some of your major needs. Please if I forgot something or you have something to add please please please add it to the comments as I am always looking for new options. Where possible please use direct dev githubs or websites & check the SHA file where you can. I'd also like to point out that I am in no way the first to compile this list & I will not be the last, one of my favorite sources is TheHatedOne on YouTube/Reddit ect.(may also do a post with alternatives to the big social & file sharing network replacements but being a noiser shows you may already be on some of those platforms) please go check out all the great content creators that lead the way. At the time of writing this Startpage.com has been purchased by Microsoft so it may be changing it's Terms of Use & as such will no longer remain on the list but for now they still do not collect data.
