Ask HN: Those of you who deleted FB, have you stopped using Google too?

So it's more or less impossible to completely avoid Google products, especially for developers.
Personal life I've cut out what I can.
- I use DuckDuckGo for search. - I use ProtonMail for email. - I've hardly ever used my smart phone for anything, remains the same now. It's essentially a test device with no account associated with it. Not having a cell phone is amazing.

Planning to, not found a good replacement yet for Calendar and Mail (ProtonMail offers only 500MB for the free plan).
About Google Drive, I use Dropbox, Box and OneDrive too, but they are on the same boat.
I'm abandoning Evernote as well, as long as they don't have an easy exporting tool

However I didn't delete FB or stop using Google recently. I deleted my FB account.. Somewhere around 8 or 9 years ago?
I stopped using Google by choice (i.e. clients sometimes send me google docs links) just before it was a built-in Safari option, so maybe 4 or 5 years ago I guess?
