Same here, ditched Chrome for Firefox and Chromium, and Google Search for DDG.
Altough I don't see how I could stop using Android, maps, youtube and gmail :-/
I'm in the exact same spot. Android can be ditched for LineageOS. Gmail is risky because of security; using anything else is a big gamble. Maps is also irreplaceable right now, but over time competitors will get better.

The last company to pour significant resources into maps was Apple and they have essentially given up. If the most valuable company ever created cannot defeat Maps, nothing will. Including OSM. There was a story on here a few months ago called Google Maps’ Moat. Give it a read. Maps is not going anywhere.
I read that article back then, I just don't agree with it ^.
With the rise of self-driving cars, maps will become a non-issue. All the companies that nail self-driving cars, and there will be several, will over time have a maps that is better than Google's today.
^ I mean, I do agree it's a moat, it just had the unusual property that the path to bring it down is pretty clear.
My comment about security still applies. In fact, I think it was precisely fastmail that a while ago I read on HN someone complaining that someone else hacked them by calling customer support and kind of guessing some questions.
You should ditch Chromium as well.
