Maybe not "dread", but distrust with a tinge of sadness. It is surprising to see how much their executives are willing to destroy Google's reputation, in search of.. I don't know.. their next bonus and promotion? Seven to eight years ago, I was using probably 30-40 Google products and services. I used to recommend Google products to my friends and family without reservation. But over time, I have whittled down my dependency to Google to maybe 7-9 products/services. With the killing of Legacy GSuite, I'll be migrating to FastMail or something similar, and I'll be down to only a handful of Google products in a few months. I never thought that I would stop using Google Search and Chrome, but DDG and Firefox have been perfectly fine for me for several years now.

That's what happens when a product gets big and you have to start worrying about how terrorists, pedophiles, and mass copyright crime is being committed on the platform. Hosts like Google have been held legally responsible for the content they host and have acted accordingly.

I think dread is a bit over dramatic. I still find utility in Google Maps and GMail. Some products in the Google domain are heading that way but I don't dread Google I treat them as a business with respect to my coupling to them on a case by case basis.

I used to be a Google first, now I am one to look at all options and decide if its worth coupling something else in my life to Google. In many cases its not worth it or even required.
