Best Google-suit alternatives? (feddit.it)

Hello! I would like to take some distance from Google because I don't like its hegemony over the internet. I've switched from chrome to Firefox, I've stopped using it as a search engine and I've started using duckduckgo for starters, but I'm a bit more lost on how to replace its other services. What are yours alternatives to Google? I've heard about proton mail to replacement Gmail, how is it? Do you know something to replace maps and drive?

Yeah you are right of course.

I'm glad you think so! I was pondering if Apple was practical as it has some privacy functions built in, but OSM is the top choice alt when the focus is privacy. Do you not agree?

Sincerely I have no idea how Apple fares when it comes to privacy respecting techniques. But OSM is pretty solid.
