It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

This is a daunting proposition, I'm admittedly massively invested in Google's ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.

Use newpipe anad install grapheneos on your pixel. I wish i had a pixel to install grapheneos.

I wanted to but my pixel bootloader is carrier locked. Supposedly you can call and ask them to unlock it if you own the device but not sure if that's true.

I think it is true. At least it was last time I checked. Give it a try.
