Even if you don’t value this particular function and even if it’s not as good as Google or Apple, I think it’s important to have viable free alternatives so if Google and Apple rapidly become (significantly more) actively hostile there are viable alternatives.

TBF my only problem with GoS is that Google is actually hostile (as in the seemingly targeted way), that some institutions (like certain banks) are actively hostile, so both of these things create friction or issues for me, and my only personal issue is that they could use someone less abrasive to communicate (I was on the receiving end of someone who could be described as illegitimate child of Linus Torvalds, Leonard Poettering and a lesser basilisk in terms of politeness in response to me asking a normal user question on the discussion forum. Grim)

So, would recommend in general.
