Sam Wight@_mark Any suggestions on how best to de-Google your life? I've tried DuckDuckGo in the past, but for some reason it never really stuck.

Any reason why you didn't keep using it?
I started by writing all the service I had then whether I still used them or not. The one by one looked for replacements or in the case of things like Google analytics I stopped using altogether.

I kids found that it didn't have as relevant results to me imo. DuckDuckGo couldn't match Google in local results, even when I gave it my exact location, and I just found that Google 'got' me a lot more than DDG. It was just easier to find what I was lookout for with Google. And thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into doing that!

@samwightt and google is still better for local stuff due to like, the local guide program which uses an ethically questionable amout of unpaid labor
