I find DuckDuckGo to be a nice alternative to Google, although I have to switch to google.com for certain searches.

As for email - if I can not connect with IMAP, I am still using the plain old HTML web interface for GMail. The new one has too much clutter. But I am also searching for an alternative with good uptime.

As such, Gmail is the only thing that keeps me connected with google. Any alternatives?

Yes, FastMail. I wrote a blog post a while ago about switching from Gmail: http://www.maxmasnick.com/2013/07/19/fastmail/
