It is vital to unGoogle, to protect your data. Totally possible.

1. Switch everything to Apple, hardware company. iPhone, Mac OS

2. Use [email protected] email, create few email aliases. Forward your gmail to it, and finally delete gmail accounts.

3. Don't use any of Googles software, like Chrome. Install adbocker extention/app and use Private Browsing windows by default

4. Buy a VPN subscription and set up your phone and Mac to always use it (on-demand).

What makes you think your VPN company isn't selling your net usage data to Google?

I carefully selected it :) Even if it does, there are other benefits:

- ISP has no clue what you do

- Your IP is hidden, major feature for fingerprinting you by websites, trackers and Google.
