      You can Degoogle one step at a time. Make it a weekly habit to spend 10 minutes Degoogling every week and you won’t need to wait for another worldwide shutdown

        I wholeheartedly second this. I started by removing all the files off Google Drive, which was easy for me. To swap email, I took one week researching email replacements, another week signing up, and every week since then has been swapping over one or two websites to the new addresses. Still not there, but I’ll have a lot less work to do if/when I have to de-Google quickly.

        Thinking of de-Googling as a single action that must be completed in totality is not a good way of getting anything done. There is huge value in reducing reliance.

        True. And I did hear if you degoogle at least 20 times a month it reduces your risk of prostate cancer.
