Ask HN: Those of you who deleted FB, have you stopped using Google too?

Pretty much - occasionally I use it for translations (but all automatic Thai<>English translations seem to be dubious quality at best).

However I didn't delete FB or stop using Google recently. I deleted my FB account.. Somewhere around 8 or 9 years ago?

I stopped using Google by choice (i.e. clients sometimes send me google docs links) just before it was a built-in Safari option, so maybe 4 or 5 years ago I guess?

So it's more or less impossible to completely avoid Google products, especially for developers.

Personal life I've cut out what I can.

- I use DuckDuckGo for search. - I use ProtonMail for email. - I've hardly ever used my smart phone for anything, remains the same now. It's essentially a test device with no account associated with it. Not having a cell phone is amazing.

Planning to, not found a good replacement yet for Calendar and Mail (ProtonMail offers only 500MB for the free plan).

About Google Drive, I use Dropbox, Box and OneDrive too, but they are on the same boat.

I'm abandoning Evernote as well, as long as they don't have an easy exporting tool
