Next year, why then? Genuinely curious what keeps you hanging on. Seems like Google’s apps and services rise and fall like the tides, so why not now.

I've degoogled quite well, the only real google services I continue to voluntarily use are YouTube and Maps. Although I don't use YouTube itself, I mostly interact with it through third party apps (i.e SmartTube or Invidious) and with Maps... well... nothing comes close. I wish there was a decent competitor to Google Maps but there isn't. I tried using Apple Maps but it lacks all of the crowdsourced information that Google has access to.

Even with Google Maps, I find the UX of Apple Maps to be superior.

The worst part is how when you’re on a trip and move to another app and back, Google Maps will wait 5-10 secs before showing you the trip you’re literally on. Instead it prioritises the unwanted “what’s on” box.

I’ll use Google Maps for reviews, and Apple Maps for everything else.

It’s hard to break away. So many businesses and nonprofits using Google calendar, drive, and online apps like sheets.
