    Does anyone have a good in depth guide on how to de-google? My ultimate goal is to not use Google at all and use Graphene OS on my Pixel

      TheHatedOne on YT has some good resources

      You can also find degoogle lists with alternatives for each app, e.g. here: https://git.tycrek.com/archive/degoogle

      My advice to you is to take one step at a time, explore at your own pace. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, but IMO each step is beneficial on its own. E.g. instead of moving to Proton.me in one night (or any other email provider), first start by forwarding the emails and see if you’re ok with the product

      There’s no guide since everyone’s use case is different, and 100% is only obtainable if you avoid all tech. GrapheneOS or buy an iPhone are the best options. I went the grapheneos route, but I still use google play services as I found its the safest way to still get apps for now, and the disconnect from google is still much more than using stock android. I moved email to proton, maps I use OsmAnd.

      I mean… Just don’t use Google services!?

      What kind of guide or in depth are you looking for? It’s a broad field. Google covers a lot.
