DeGoogle your life for 2024

1 year ago 813

The DeGoogle movement (also called the de-Google movement) is a campaign that has spawned as privacy advocates urge users to stop using Google products entirely due to growing privacy concerns regarding the company. The term refers to the act of removing Google from one's life. As the growing market share of the internet giant creates monopolistic power for the company in digital spaces, increasing numbers of journalists have noted the difficulty to find alternatives to the company's products.

This is a 2024 DeGoogle List with all viable Self Host or Hosted alternatives of popular services provided. If you have a suggestion, just leave it in the comments below to add/remove any product from the list
