i wonder how many canadians that were sitting on the fence about de-googling are no longer sitting on that fence......

  1. start by changing your default search, google ai overviews made it useless anyways. check out duck duck go or startpage

  2. stop using google spyware browser (chrome and all chrome builds) and switch to firefox (or preferably a privacy focused fork, i.e. waterfox, librewolf

  3. learn linux...... quit windows

  4. self-host your own server and run your own localized, private apps, immich instead of google photos, vaultwarden instead of password manager, jellyfin instead of netflix, etc.

5.??????

  1. profit!!!!
