Tracked No More: Goodbye Google

Update 2024-09-12

This post contained a write-up of how I permanently cut Google services out of my life. However, with platforms changing, well over three years later the content became irrelevant and pointless to try to keep it updated. What looked like feasible alternatives back at the time (e.g. Tutanota, ProtonMail, etc.) turned out to be basically similarly bad as Google in many regards.

If you are curious for an up to date list of software and services I use, please check the infrastructure page instead.
