Several excellent applications currently offer comprehensive alternatives to Google services. What are your preferred applications at this time? (lemmy.world)

I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌

My current progress:
Gmail and calendar ➡️ @Tutanota@mastodon.social some issues with UI and performance, but overall happy.
Browser ➡️ Zen (Firefox fork)
Storage ➡️ NAS with mesh VPN
Photos/videos: Jellyfin but also just manual folders. Phone sync with Easy Sync over WebDav. Quite hacky, but it works.
YouTube: SOL :bocchi_wiggle:
Chat: pretty much everything with no consensus. :dumpsterkun: Attempting to use matrix/signal/xmpp more.

Still room for improvement with text/voice/video chat being the big current struggle.
