  • Gemini: I'd recommend not using AI, but if you want to, then use Deepseek, Claude, ChatGPT, or anything else
  • Google Search: DuckDuckGo, SearXNG, Kagi, Mojeek, Qwant, Startpage, Marginalia
  • YouTube: use https://invidious.io/ for watching YouTube videos (it also gets rid of ads), and use PeerTube (video platform federated like Lemmy) and watch videos, and maybe post some if you have something to post about

You can also search the web for lots of deGoogling advice and guides and for alternatives to Google services

Why use ChatGPT over Gemini?

They're basically all equally good, but some are less confirmed to give your data to the government (probably they all do that too, which is why they were recommending you not use any of them.)
