From Gmail to Google News, Google’s free products are hard to beat!


However, Google is also one of the world’s most ruthless harvesters of your personal data—which it doesn’t adequately protect, seeing as how it’s exposed the personal info of hundreds of thousands of people.


The product Google is best known for, Search, isn’t all that great: As the biggest server of online ads, the company prioritizes paid search results over what you actually want to find. Scammers manipulate Google’s algorithms to create junk sites that rank high in the search engine, ripping off visitors and advertisers alike.


Then there’s the monopoly issue. In September 2023, the U.S. launched an antitrust lawsuit against Google. According to NPR, “The Justice Department's case hinges on claims that Google illegally orchestrated its business dealings, so that it's the first search engine people see when they turn on their phones and web browsers. The government says Google's goal was to stomp out competition.”


In February 2025, Google removed from its “AI Principles” its promise not to use AI for weapons or surveillance.


Finally, let's not forget that Google's CEO was one of the tech CEOs bending the knee at—and donating a million dollars to—Donald Trump's inauguration.


That's why it's time to explore the big world outside of Google products.


This infographic offers friendlier, more private alternatives to Google; most of them are appropriate for folks who are less experienced with tech, and most of them are also free or "freemium," meaning you can upgrade for more features.


The downloadable PDF version of the infographic has clickable links! You can also find links to all the Google alternatives on the Degoogle page.


I urge you to replace at least one Google product today.
