But leave for what? I'm all for leaving Google, I use Firefox and OpenStreetMap as much as I can. I have a non-gmail e-mail account.

DuckDuckGo sucked at searching last time I tried it - and I'd happily pay money for an alternative. Ditto for Google Docs. Google Scholar - another thing I use a lot.

I think the root cause is not really FLoC etc. but Google's total dominance over the Internet, and with it, a lack of real alternative.
