This process is fairly easy to achieve if you are correctly prepared for. There are plenty of even better alternatives for almost every app, services and so on. I did it few years ago without any issues nor problems. Besides.. tons of great made how-tos are now available online, so it is way much easier to get rid of google from your life. 👍😊<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FuckGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckGoogle</span></a></p>
