Think I'll be making more of an effort to de-Googlify over the next few months/year... No company should have this much control.

Switching to Firefox then?

Part of the problem with that is that there are parts of the Google stack that just aren't well replicated elsewhere: the reason I got so into it in the first place was the WebApps/Cloud offerings of Google Drive / Docs. I'm not sure where else to get that, and using it opts me in to a few other things.
I will say, having Mastodon take off instead of Google+ is a step in the good direction here.
