I am heavily invested in Google Services, both on desktop and mobile.
The current restrictions placed on Android devices have made clear that this reliance is very risky. I do not like being played as a pawn on third parties conflicts.
I would like to replace my use of Google services with alternatives. Specifically, by order of importance:
- GMail
- Google Maps
- Youtube
- Play Store
What are my options?
For mobile, I would consider continuing to use Android as base OS, since it seems restricting use of it wouldn't be feasible.
Replacing Google as search engine was very easy in Chrome: https://duckduckgo.com/install?t=h_

I will try the same on my Android phone later.
