Forced to use my phone during a windows update which breaks my computer. My phone is shitty and slow. Google is full of unhelpful results. Youtube is showing nothing but political ads about ms-13 killing white people.

Truly 2024 is great.

    Do you have any recommendations on how to effectively do this now that you've gone through it?

      there are many guides out there that are going to be a lot more organized than asking a random user.

      https://redlib.pussthecat.org/r/degoogle/wiki/index

      etc.

      It really depends on your usage (which products, for what, how much, etc) and your tolerance for spending time vs money vs inconvenience.

      I endorse what Chronicon posted, those guides are good. YMMV but for me the turning point was switching to grapheneOS on mobile. I've still yet to completely detach from Google but I'm enjoying the process.
