I don't know how to get out...
I wanted to get out of the Google Ecosystem, but its nearly impossible...
I began to think of replacements for everything:
Gmail? Outlook!
YouTube? I'll just download subscribed videos automatically.
GDrive? OneDrive (dropbox too small)
Chrome? Palemoon
Google Music? ...Spotify?
Google Books? Kindle maybe...
Google Search? DuckDuckGo I guess...
Android? Uh...fuck.
Should I bother? Maybe the ecosystem is better and more convenient for me anyway? Help /g/entoomen

- Mail.com + Sylpheed
- Might as well just use a local client to stream, or just install youtube-dl
- There isn't a need for that shit really, just buy a couple of big USBs, or an external HDD
- Pale Moon is good, yes.
- Spotify is now a privacy concern
- Just go look for a free eBook solution, you'll find plenty
- Startpage and ixquick
- If you don't want to use stock Android, go install a compatible Cyanogenmod.

Gmail: buy a web domain and route it to your home email server. Then your email address can be literallyAnything@whateveraddr.xxx
Youtube: a script to youtube-dl subscribed videos straight to your NAS, this provides a better service anyway, because you can watch at 1080p 60fps or whatever resolution without any stuttering
Gdrive: NAS
Chrome: firefox, it's better anyway
Google Music: NAS
Google Books: I usually just save ebooks locally on all my devices since they're so small
Search: Duck Duck Go is great, this is the most important of all so a slightly slower search engine is more than worth it
Android: Replicant I suppose, if you have a supported device you could use multirom to run linux directly
Most of the suggestions you're getting are lateral upgrades, to be honest OP

Some replacement for Google Maps would be nice too, as nobody mentioned it. There's Openstreetmaps, but I didn't find it useful enough.

http://apkzonar.com/ is also a good play-store alternative. We can download all latest version of apk files for free. I've been using it for some time. There I have never had problems with malware, viruses.

I have a question kindarelated. I have a samsung galaxy with android. it's a tablet, but it has a sim slot. so, that means it has an IMEI number.
If I use the tablet without a simcard, does the IMEI still get transmitted?

On that note, is there any app that lets you alter an IMEI (fuck the police)?

Replicant cares about freedom but not about security & is outdated as fuck.
Copperhead OS however is not and the sole alternative you have.

It is possible to use Android without all of the bloatware that Google provides. (Without all != none!) Install a Custom ROM and dont flash gapps. It still has propietary code blobs in it but if you want to somewhat fit in with the normies it is the best option IMO. Or use a cellphone, not a smartphone.
>Outlook
Microshit. Use Protonmail, cock.li or a self-hosted mailserver.
