I need a genuine advice. I own Google Pixel 2 because I needed a good mobile camera, I also have a Chromebook with Cruton as I needed a cheap Linux notebook. I use Google Maps, Gmail, WhatsUp, Google Photos, Google Drive, Messenger ( the only thing I don't have is a FB app).

Given all this information how I am supposed to disconnect from all of this? Cause surely simply having something blocking tracking of you in a desktop browser is not enough? Also, I really enjoy services provided by Google, why should I give it all up and replace everything with "safe" alternatives? I know I am a product and my personal info and preferences are all of over the place. But I always understood this to be the price I pay for using this services ( taking about Google mainly ).
