I don't use any Google products, although I am invested in the Mac and iOS ecosystem until something better comes along. Firefox, FastMail, Apple Photos combined with https://immich.app/ , etc. Youtube videos are ripped into my own storage system for viewing and storage using yt-dlp.

What Google service do you feel like you cannot replace with a private or open alternative?

I'm talking about literally "Google play services" , it cannot be replaced for now , apple is different that's an entirely different ecosystem. The apps aren't the problem the problem is Google play services itself isn't effectively replaceable with anything else (as I mentioned in the previous message)

And because of that Google apps don't work , banking apps too any anything that needs security as well.

Replacing 90% is better than 0%
