This magazine doesn't have a place to read articles online but I can summarize it for you. Google tools you can ditch:
Ditch Google Search for DuckDuckGo
Switch from Chrome to Brave
Replace Gmail with Protonmail
Stop using Google Photos
Replace Google Maps with Open Street Maps
Stop using Youtube or, at the very least, sign out of Google before you use it.
Stop using Google Drive and Docs
Stop using Google Calendar
Download and delete your Google Data
Check out Libre Office.

Open-source shovel-ware descendent of open-office. Won’t use it. Hated it so much, I always used CrossOver Office in the past to run real Microsoft products on Linux distros.
mr mm is already checking it out.
I’ve never had issue with it, but opinions vary.
I’ve helped with development for the open source operating systems, one Linux distribution and NetBSD, and I’m an American of European descent. The other developers and systems people are of various nationalities, and politics are not discussed. Technology is the focus.
Over the years, I’ve been more personally acquainted with only a very few of the open source developers and users for testing. Several were conservative, and several were liberals (i.e., conservative and liberal in the U.S. senses of those labels).
Many of the developers of smaller proprietary, closed source apps written in higher level languages (easier to write) have been leftists (my experiences in commercial offices with web script kiddies, JAVA developers and the like), but most of them were young.
Once again, as long as there are no decent production quality applications, under Linux, it’s all fairly worthless for me.
Every open-source equivalent I’ve tried are poorly written, poorly or not compatible, with terrible UX/UI. I shouldn’t have to work 10x as hard to produce usable output in the games industry.
That’s why the only open-source games available in Linux are pretty much pure shovel-ware.
After reading your post I did a little search on duckduckgo.com
Found this 3 year old article and with an audio of an interview with Google leadership. It was clear that even then the Communist were totally in charge then.
