You do have options though. Use Linux instead of Windows. Use Firefox instead of Chrome. Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google search. Use ProtonMail instead of GoogleMail. For every service you use which invades your privacy, there is an alternative which doesn't.
This is where user friendly features comes in count also knowledge is vital.
Use Linux instead of Windows.
- I never used Linux and I do not think I will ever consider it too.
Use Firefox instead of Chrome.
- I feel Chrome service is better and using it however changing it to firefox is that that hard.
Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google search
- Not user friendly. Google is bringing exactly that I want but in DuckDuckGo every time I am going from the start.
Use ProtonMail instead of GoogleMail
- Never tried ProtonMail. Guess I will give it a try.
Problem is that - the alternatives are not very much up to date with the comfort lever the regular services offer. It's like your phone company. In your circle if everyone is using service A then you are using the same because service A is giving some specific offers which you can not find with other service to communicate with your friends.
