@priteshusadadiya @sarthology Don't you think that's a bit extreme?
What tangible benefit does an individual get by not using all the google products all the time?

of course all google products have their merits and they are obviously very good.

I am just saying , there might be equally good privacy focused alternatives that people might not know about.

In the end it really all comes down to individuals and their choices.
