Second that, and I'd like to add google too with the following alternatives: 1. search: duckduckgo 2. email: proton

I know google is more pervasive in services, these two can be a good start.

Yup, Email is the only thing I haven't migrated off Google yet, that one is tougher so far.

But also instead of Chrome use Brave or Edge, both built on Chromium and are essentially Chrome, but without Google's spyware bloat.

Vivaldi (also Chromium) is another option. I've used Brave for a while but I got annoyed by them modifying my settings through user experiments without any form of opt in.
