I’ve been using duckduckgo for half a year already they’ve became quite good compared to Google search, Google maps alternative is any popular maps app just try what’ll fit your tastes, but YouTube is certainly don’t have alternatives YET just because libre alternatives though exist but not yet in shape enough (basically we need datahoarders who’ll hoard and host whole youtube to libre alternatives such as framatube and others) for now we can only rely to custom frontends such as clipious, piped and others and custom apps of course
I started ditching google apps last spring and my “alternatives” are: bing/apple maps, invidious, and SearXNG. I self-host the last two to keep even more control of my data.
OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps (OSM would be even better if more people used and actively contributed mapping data to it), no real youtube alternative yet (but see Piped/Invidious, Peertube, and Odysee), and there’s plenty of alternative search engines like Duckduckgo, Brave search (has its own index), etc
So what is equal or better alternative than Google Maps, Youtube and Google Search?
