ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris.
With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.
Google is its own worst enemy
In its bid to push AI, it’s destroying its products and trying to kill the web too

Last year I put together a guide to help people get off US tech — and that includes Google. There are a lot of alternatives there they will help you make a plan to pull away from Google services, and all the rest of them too.

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

@parismarx I read that article when you first posted it, and it’s still solid.
A question, though, that occurred to me with this Google search change and I was reminded about scanning over this article again: StartPage strips out the trackers from Google search results and offers those for its search results. What’s idea going to happen to it now that Google will effectively not offer any (clickable/reliable/not slop) search results?
I’m going to throw this onto a stand-alone post as well in case others have any insight.
