    I’ve been degoogled for a little bit over a year now and here’s what I use (disclaimer: I own a NAS / homserver, so I got a little bit more options than most people would).

    • Android OS: /e/OS
    • Browser: Firefox and Bromite
    • Maps: Organic Maps
    • Play Store: F-Droid (droidify client in my case) and App Lounge.
    • YouTube: Libretube (privacy-friendly YouTube client)
    • Translation: DeepL
    • Movies, TV Shows, Music: self-hosted Jellyfin
    • Automatic backup of my images and videos: self-hosted Immich
    • VPN server: self-hosted Wireguard server
    • Document management: self-hosted Nextcloud Office + LibreOffice on my PC
    • E-Mail service: ProtonMail (self-hosting this is a pain in the ass, so I’ll just leave it to experts)
    • Search engine: DuckDuckGo

    Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world for tons of stuff on self-hosting services and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/ for a lot of other good alternatives.

      Bromite is a terrible idea. It’s 9 months out of date and it isn’t maintained anymore. It’s superceded by Cromite.
