Last year I finally made the push to de-google as much as possible. I dropped gmail/google calendar in exchange for ProtonMail. Replaced google photos/drive with Backblaze (there is a manual step now). Moved all my domains from Google Domains to Cloudflare (thankfully). The only tether I still have to Google is my YouTube account. Other than that I can say my life has been entirely de-coupled from Google. I simply do not trust Google anymore. Between their history of randomly killing projects and awful consumer support its just not worth it.
