I think Google is great. It's convenient. Their search results are tailored to my liking, I love Gmail, I adore Google Docs/Sheets, and there are tons of tools I use almost every day as well.
Honestly, the "switching away from [nameHere]" trend is so tiresome. Good job, you're a unique little snowflake now. You don't have Facebook, no LinkedIn, you don't use Google but DuckDuckGo, and you're even switching away from GitHub now it's owned by Microsoft.
What's next? No more StackOverflow? No more using that popular package manager and, instead, installing all that stuff manually?
Why aren't you a sheep, using Linux like all those others. If you want true anonimity and control you build your own OS. And all those microchips are scary, better reinvent the entire computer just because they might track and trace you.
Where do you draw the line?
You're making life harder on yourself.
But okay, privacy is a thing. Right. Yet you're using a computer. Most of you won't be on a VPN every single day. And those who are, are probably on a commercial VPN. Or worse, a free VPN. Because if the service isn't the product... who is? Hmmmmmm.
