It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

I didn't, but I did all the other privacy things and as a result Google locked me out of my accounts so its basically the same thing

about time 😊 that’s not the goal; one of the first basic steps!


EDIT Sorry I should not have said it like this. Even though that was my honest feelings, said as free speech without any meany connotations, this should have been treated as good news, like someone finally ditched Windows.

One of the next steps might be to figure out how not to load GA.js GTM.js Google Fonts etc.

There is a long way to go to de-Google oneself, and unfortunately it’s not easy nor trivial. One subtle example: Google is a broker of Tor Snowflake, which could cause a difficult dilemma.
