DeGooglization

Not sure this is the right sub forum for this ... if not, the mods can move it.


I was thinking now would be a good time to start a discussion on the ways we can get Google out of our lives ... Google is evil and the sooner we can stop using their "services" the better.

There are several aspects of Google in our lives we should all be finding replacements for.

• Email
• Search Engine
• Video Service
• Social Media
• Web Browser

I thought I'd start the discussion out with alternatives to the Google Search Engine (the toughest one is going to be email for sure and video service is really more up to creators and not users to decide on).

So I've been using Duck Duck Go for quite a while and while it works ok (especially when searching "controversial" subjects that Google is actively skewing/suppressing) I still wonder if I can't do better. So lately I've been playing with Qwant because, well frankly its prettier.

Was wondering what people's experiences with these two search engines (and others) has been.
