so im trying to reduce my footprint when it comes to using google and their products, there's some things i cant stop using so easily (lagdroid because im a poorfag, youtube because theres no other option), ive already switched browsers and search engines but im not of where to go from there.

You can't get away from google. Their code runs on every website.
I am too confused on what to do with this.
I use stock android samsung phone with no account logged in, so I feel okay in regards to that, but what bothers me is my main and only email account is Gmail.
I use it for my banking, I dont use it for school because I have a separate .edu account, but I did apply to school with it, ebay, and all online shopping. Basically, all my personal information is on that account. The email itself has a fake name and info of course, but the accounts lined to it don't.
What else can I use though?
I picked Gmail because I feel it is the most reliant, secure, and least likely to be hacked - on the flip side of that coin, I'm voluntarily surrendering my rights.

I have the gmail app on my android signed in. Chances are my privacy is not secure but I have no way of knowing for sure.

It takes search results from google that's why it's awesome.

Doesn't do much against browser fingerprinting, which google is known to do.

That is even worse than me, because Google tracks your location via the phone, then it gradually builds up a map of you based on your frequent locations.
I'm not making that up.

Use cock.li and PGP or something.
