What are alternatives to Google products?


With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, I am looking for alternatives to Google products.

There are no real alternative to YouTube. For search i find bing not bad when I need objective (not biased) results.

For marketing, it is difficult to find an alternative because everyone uses Google products, so it is the best way to advertise to a wide audience. The problem is that when Google closes your account, you are in a terrible situation.

My biggest anti-Google is Zoho. They provide me Email, Drive, Docs/Sheets/Presentations, a full CRM, etc.

As far as browser, on Windows I suggest Pale Moon, and on *Nix I suggest GNU IceWeasel-UXP.

Maps, I'd go for OSM (Open Street Map).

YouTube: PeerTube

OS: I do not know.

Search: Exalead or DuckDuckGo.
