The current restrictions placed on Android devices have made clear that this reliance is very risky. I do not like being played as a pawn on third parties conflicts.

I would like to replace my use of Google services with alternatives. Specifically, by order of importance:

- GMail

- Google Maps

- Youtube

- Play Store

What are my options?

For mobile, I would consider continuing to use Android as base OS, since it seems restricting use of it wouldn't be feasible.

Replacing Google as search engine was very easy in Chrome: https://duckduckgo.com/install?t=h_

I will try the same on my Android phone later.","time":1558339671,"title":"Ask HN: Alternative to Google Services?","type":"story"}],[19962354,{"by":"vermontdevil","descendants":5,"id":19962354,"kids":[19962379,19962384,19962416],"score":5,"text":"I would have thought being in private/incognito mode enables you to browse without being recognized?
