By reading about the new inclementations on Google I decided to leave from Google services entirely, already stoping using Windows for 6 month and Chrome, but sttil dont sure about a gmail(Some important things are signed in gmail accont) and some services like Youtube and some android telemetry(already rooted)
I dont know what I can do about android without break and about gmail its signed in everywhere that I used like steam, and every other important app that you can think, and tutanota is good but mostly paid(I think so)
Skiff is another option to replace Gmail, it has 10 Gb free storage.

GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, etc
This is a very effective way to ensure your activity is tracked by Google across the web.
Delete your accounts. Get a relay service (Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, etc.). Create new accounts with alias emails.
Get a password manager (1Password, BitWarden, Proton Pass). Save your alias, username and unique password in the manager.
That should be a good start.
I’m still on gmail. It’s one of the few services I genuinely think google is still doing correctly.
But, a good way to switch, would be to get another email address, then link it to gmail, or gmail to it (via smpt and pop3/imap) and slowly start swithing all your stuff over while using both for while. The link will bring everything into one single inbox for you.
I still have two pre-gmail inboxes routes ilto my gmail this way, they never get mail anymore, but you don’t need to entirely cut those inboxes off.
“Still doing correctly”? They are very generous with their space allowance and you gotta wonder why. I haven’t read the privacy policy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if every email you receive, everything you buy, every account you own is feeding into advertising profiles about you as a user.
It definitely is. That was the deal you made to use gmail, that’s been the case since the start. The user agreement is very up front about that.
What I mean is, is that where gmail is concerned, that trade is still one I’m willing to make. It provides enough for me to agree to hand over the snapshot of me that is my email traffic.
With chrome, not so much. Chrome does very little to provide me with some kind of value other browsers dont, and yet it asks for everything I do online. Not just the account confirmation messages I use my email to receive. Gmail can see if I have pornhub account. Chrome can log every webpage I’ve ever opened. There’s a difference.
Email is central for all online activity, and google is really good at it, and provides it for “free”, at a rate that’s “competitive”.
A lot of googles other services, very much aren’t.
One thing Proton does really well is filters. Google is, comparatively, an absolute nightmare, and they should be embarrassed.
phase out Google account sign-in slowly by signing in to those accounts with an email address instead. It takes weeks maybe, but then you’re free. A password manager like keepass helps
