It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

    Congratulations! That’s awesome! I’ve been Google-free for 2-3 years, but I haven’t been brave enough to finally delete Gmail. I keep worrying I might need the message history one day?

    Regarding Maps: I use OrganicMaps as my main, & I reflex to Gmaps WV when something isn’t in OrganicMaps. I feel this is a reasonable privacy-friendly compromise.

      I’m not 100% but I am close. Off gdrive, off gcal, off chrome, almost entirely off gmail. I’ll check out the maps!

      You can transfer your entire Gmail email history to your new service very easily

        Oh yeah? I didn’t know that. I’ll have to look into it, thanks!
