Such as google, facebook, linkedin, microsoft, amazon, verizon, really any conglomerate that doesn&amp;#39;t respect their users.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Whether your looking to be &amp;quot;google free&amp;quot; or just replace a few of the services you use, you&amp;#39;ll find help here!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So why do you not trust these companies?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Everyone may have their own reasoning on why they want to de-google. These companies have data-breaches, it&amp;#39;s not a matter of who, it&amp;#39;s really a when. By minimizing our data footprint and choosing the providers that match with our own beliefs, we can have much better control over our own data. Not everyone will agree with a de-googler, that&amp;#39;s okay. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs, we just want to help everyone make an informed decision based upon the evidence and facts presented.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These companies are not concerned with our data, that means we need to take our own action. Here are a few articles just reinforcing we need to be careful with our data.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cnet.com/news/senate-demands-google-ceo-answer-for-hidden-nest-microphone/&quot;&gt;Senate Demands google CEO answer for hidden nest microphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6696631/Privacy-fears-Google-Amazon-use-smart-home-data-learn-daily-habits.html&quot;&gt;Google and Amazon use smart home data to learn daily habits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.businessinsider.com/smart-tv-data-collection-advertising-2019-1&quot;&gt;Smart TV Data Collection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ted.com/talks/finn_myrstad_how_tech_companies_deceive_you_into_giving_up_your_data_and_privacy&quot;&gt;How tech companies deceive you into giving up your data and privacy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/business/amazon-alexa-conversation-shared-echo.html&quot;&gt;Amazon Alexa recording personal conversations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Want more relatable evidence to yourself?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Try installing Noscript addon in your firefox browser and take note of how many websites you visit have scripts for various sites. Ex when you visit old.reddit.com the current scripts on this page are from:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;reddit.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;aaxads.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;amazon-adsystem.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;googletagservices.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;redditmedia.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;redditstatic.com&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Currently the only two I have approved are reddit.com and redditstatic.com. Just those two out of six let me browse the site and post just fine.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If no script isn&amp;#39;t your deal, take a look into PiHole. PiHole is a black-hole for internet ads and tracking. If you set the DNS (Domain Name Service) to each individual device. You will see which devices ping or send data to where. Maybe you&amp;#39;ll notice windows pinging microsoft servers more often than needed, or alexa sending data while not in use. Whatever device, as long as you can set pi-hole up, you can set it as the DNS on individual devices or your router.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/r/pihole&quot;&gt;/r/pihole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pi-hole.net&quot;&gt;https://pi-hole.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can I do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Good news! You made the first step, you&amp;#39;re here and researching. You don&amp;#39;t need to go all out right away, create a plan. Take it step by step.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In previous posts and the wiki, we have suggested alternatives to services you may use. Don&amp;#39;t see it? Make a post and ask the community their opinion!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of replacement services out there, it&amp;#39;s time to change what we know. Many of the replacement services are even better than what de-googlers once used!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As an example; Some users replace Gmail or Outlook with Fastmail, Protonmail, or Tutanota. Three very good alternatives and each have their own pro&amp;#39;s and con&amp;#39;s to the services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The great thing about the technology age is... We have options!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Options for email, phone, social media, news outlets, search engines, cloud storage and just about anything you can think of. It&amp;#39;s just a matter of discovering those alternatives which may someday be the mainstream or maybe the past alternative is the up and coming mainstream privacy respecting service/product now.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t be afraid to get started or ask questions. We&amp;#39;re all here for the same purpose so be kind!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you have any questions, concerns or opinions regarding &lt;a href=&quot;/r/degoogleyourlife&quot;&gt;/r/degoogleyourlife&lt;/a&gt;, just let us know!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Enjoy De-Googling Your Lives!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/BlueJayMordecai&quot;&gt; /u/BlueJayMordecai &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/b9i8xg/degoogling_your_life/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/b9i8xg/degoogling_your_life/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_b9i8xg</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/b9i8xg/degoogling_your_life/" /><updated>2019-04-04T20:54:50+00:00</updated><published>2019-04-04T20:54:50+00:00</published><title>De-googling your life?</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/raulynukas</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/raulynukas</uri></author><category term="degoogleyourlife" label="r/degoogleyourlife"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;hello,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;decided to install graphene OS and that only runs on google pixel 5/6+?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;seen few guides that mention you have to check if it has custom rom, i thought that this phone with manufacturer settings always comes with custom rom and i could just grab it from retailer?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;anyone could advise/confirm?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;as there are nice deals in UK at the moment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;thank you&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/raulynukas&quot;&gt; /u/raulynukas &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/z5leke/how_do_i_know_if_my_google_pixel_6_is_custom_rom/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/z5leke/how_do_i_know_if_my_google_pixel_6_is_custom_rom/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_z5leke</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/z5leke/how_do_i_know_if_my_google_pixel_6_is_custom_rom/" /><updated>2022-11-26T23:34:42+00:00</updated><published>2022-11-26T23:34:42+00:00</published><title>how do i know if my google pixel 6 is custom rom?

I looked into FOSS keyboard apps such as anysoftkeyboard, florisboard, openboard, etc but they aren&amp;#39;t as good with predictive text and autocorrect. Deal breakers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Would using a closed source app such as Yandex Keyboard (Russian) be better privacy wise than Microsoft keyboard or Google keyboard? I would imagine Gboard to be the worst in terms of privacy. Swiftkey 2nd worst. Yandex least worst.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Any other recommendations? Perhaps there are other closed source apps that are as good as Swiftkey? Not sure if there are any FOSS ones that are as good as Swiftkey.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Also, would using a closed source launcher such as Nova launcher be better than Microsoft launcher for privacy?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;TLDR Difference in privacy between Google keyboard vs Microsoft keyboard vs other closed source keyboards such as Russian made Yandex keyboard?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/ascworl&quot;&gt; /u/ascworl &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pzyov9/keyboard_app_privacy_question/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pzyov9/keyboard_app_privacy_question/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_pzyov9</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pzyov9/keyboard_app_privacy_question/" /><updated>2021-10-02T16:43:48+00:00</updated><published>2021-10-02T16:43:48+00:00</published><title>Keyboard app privacy question</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/ascworl</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/ascworl</uri></author><category term="degoogleyourlife" label="r/degoogleyourlife"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greetings, I have some privacy questions about using an Android device (both Degoogled Android (custom ROM) and regular stock Android) &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Question 1 about Phone Identity For Android phones, it&amp;#39;s my understanding that Google identifies and tracks us and stores our information using a Google ID. If we purchase a new phone and DO NOT sign in to any Google account, doesn&amp;#39;t this stop them from identifying and tracking us?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Question 2 about Device Fingerprints On non Degoogled phones, does logging into our Google account WITHIN THE BROWSER identify us? Does the phone device fingerprint connect to the Google account within the browser? Or is this a safe way to say, check Gmail emails without registering the phone with that particular Google account? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Question 3 about Micro G Is it okay to log into Micro G on a Degoogled phone using my real name Google account? Or must we use a separate account that&amp;#39;s anonymous to remain private? I&amp;#39;d like to use YouTube vanced and MicroG using my regular Google account because it has all my YouTube playlists and search history saved. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Question 4 about Degoogled phone ROM Does installing a minimal GApps package such as OpenGApps Pico Variant provide any benefits to privacy compared to full GApps? Or is it either all or nothing (minimal Google services still gives them just as much power as full Google Services)? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Question 5 Is it okay to use my personal real name sim card on a Degoogled phone without linking that phone to my identity? Can I swap my sim card back and forth between a non Degoogled phone to one that&amp;#39;s been Degoogled (CalyxOS) safely without compromising privacy? I would hope it doesn&amp;#39;t matter once Google services is removed from the phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/ascworl&quot;&gt; /u/ascworl &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pein7s/questions_about_phone_identity/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pein7s/questions_about_phone_identity/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_pein7s</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/pein7s/questions_about_phone_identity/" /><updated>2021-08-30T13:59:40+00:00</updated><published>2021-08-30T13:59:40+00:00</published><title>Questions about Phone Identity</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/NotErikUden</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/NotErikUden</uri></author><category term="degoogleyourlife" label="r/degoogleyourlife"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/nryqg9/degoogle_emergency_location_services_and_location/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://preview.redd.it/jmzcc9p757371.jpg?width=640&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=488de55cfa99bfb162d871c53997bca7d1594bd5&quot; alt=&quot;DeGoogle emergency location services and location services in general with (FOSS) alternatives?&quot; title=&quot;DeGoogle emergency location services and location services in general with (FOSS) alternatives?&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/NotErikUden&quot;&gt; /u/NotErikUden &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.redd.it/jmzcc9p757371.jpg&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/nryqg9/degoogle_emergency_location_services_and_location/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content><id>t3_nryqg9</id><media:thumbnail url="https://preview.redd.it/jmzcc9p757371.jpg?width=640&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=488de55cfa99bfb162d871c53997bca7d1594bd5" /><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/nryqg9/degoogle_emergency_location_services_and_location/" /><updated>2021-06-04T06:53:51+00:00</updated><published>2021-06-04T06:53:51+00:00</published><title>DeGoogle emergency location services and location services in general with (FOSS) alternatives?</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/uimhainnin</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/uimhainnin</uri></author><category term="degoogleyourlife" label="r/degoogleyourlife"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a google pixel 5.

Anyone know how to transfer this data manually without signing into any accounts?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/ascworl&quot;&gt; /u/ascworl &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/kp6p5h/steps_to_take_before_upgrading_phone/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/kp6p5h/steps_to_take_before_upgrading_phone/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_kp6p5h</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/kp6p5h/steps_to_take_before_upgrading_phone/" /><updated>2021-01-02T21:57:07+00:00</updated><published>2021-01-02T21:57:07+00:00</published><title>Steps to take before upgrading phone?</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/EstellPropst</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/EstellPropst</uri></author><category term="degoogleyourlife" label="r/degoogleyourlife"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/kaet1v/google_will_be_able_to_delete_your_files_i_havent/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://external-preview.redd.it/KrBpnvRM9R2yoVHYOp4LavWDNucHgCLcsMnMvaRLcSc.jpg?width=640&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=9096f61dc1ffc480d4800cd1d70101aa9f2e700d&quot; alt=&quot;Google Will Be Able to Delete your Files: I haven´t received the mail yet but I´ve read this article and I´m already angry.

If the past few months of this wild year have taught me anything, it is that I need to make sure that I am always informed on the FACTS and to be self-aware. It is time for me to complete the dreaded task of leaving Gmail (after over a decade of use) and finding an email service provider that does not sell its users&amp;#39; emails, data, etc. I referred to the &amp;#39;&lt;a href=&quot;/r/degoogle&quot;&gt;r/degoogle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; community and searched through the very extensive &amp;amp; amazingly helpful degoogle &amp;#39;guide,&amp;#39; for lack of a better way to put it... But, I noticed that all of the email service providers listed are foreign. I am not against using an international email service, but is there a reason why there aren&amp;#39;t any United States-based email service providers with high security measures and end-to-end encryption? If it&amp;#39;s because the services we DO have here in the U.S. are corrupt and sell our information to foreign entities such as China, then that makes me sad but unfortunately, I am not surprised. If there are not any secure email service providers made in the United States, then which email service provider would you recommend and - just briefly - why? Thank you, in advance, to anyone that takes the time to read this and reply! It is very appreciated! This is something that I have been struggling with quite some time now, and I am grateful for any &amp;amp; all input.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/katherine_fallon317&quot;&gt; /u/katherine_fallon317 &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/jvzplp/ahhh_in_need_of_help_degoogling_my_email/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/jvzplp/ahhh_in_need_of_help_degoogling_my_email/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_jvzplp</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogleyourlife/comments/jvzplp/ahhh_in_need_of_help_degoogling_my_email/" /><updated>2020-11-17T19:37:19+00:00</updated><published>2020-11-17T19:37:19+00:00</published><title>AHHH.
