Delete Google
Delete Google. "Don't be evil" has been retired.
I can not delete my Google account.
I use Gmail for email. I use Google Drive as my cloud storage. Me and people around me use Google Meet. I use Google Play Store to install and update my applications. I use an Android phone which means I can not delete Google applications. So I depend on Google services.
But, I do things to minimize as much as possible my interactions with Google services.

- Email: Proton Mail
- Cloud storage: Proton Drive
