I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Gmail and maps are my last hold outs.

I've been using Magic Earth for navigation, it's not FOSS but still has a lot of strong vouches in these sorts of communities, I believe their privacy policy has been thoroughly vetted if I recall. Works great and does what it needs to do.

For Gmail, I highly recommend Tuta, fantastic service. Paid plans are very affordable. The only thing I wish their client had was more in-depth rule customization but I may just be stupid. Admittedly setting up email forwarding from my gmail accounts has made me a bit lazy in fully switching over every single account from gmail to a tuta address, but I'm getting there.

+1 for magic earth, great for navigation. Organic maps has a more natural UI though I find, when looking for places around you
