Just enabled DDG's app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

De-Googling is something I did about 5 years ago. It took me about 6 months on and off, but I'm super happy I did. There are always other (and actually better) alternatives to their services. The only one that I struggle not to use is YouTube - the alternatives are all worse.

I am very happy using FreeTube as an alternative frontend. No ads, all my subscriptions and watch history are local.
