This guide aims to be the most exhaustive resource available for documenting alternatives to Google products.
With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, more people than ever are considering alternatives to Google products.
After all, Google’s business model essentially revolves around data collection and advertisements, both of which infringe on your privacy. More data means better (targeted) ads and more revenue. The company pulled in over $116 billion in ad revenue last year alone – and that number continues to grow.
But the word is getting out. A growing number of people are seeking alternatives to Google products that respect their privacy and data.
So let’s get started.
Note: The lists below are not necessarily in rank order. Choose the best products and services based on your own unique needs.
When it comes to privacy, using Google search is not a good idea. When you use their search engine, Google is recording your IP address, search terms, user agent, and often a unique identifier, which is stored in cookies.
Here are ten alternatives to Google search:
*Note: With the exception of Mojeek, all of the private search engines above are technically metasearch engines, since they source their results from other search engines, such as Bing and Google.
See the new and updated best private search engines guide for additional information. (Startpage is no longer recommended.)
Gmail may be convenient and popular, but there are three major problems:
When you remain logged in to your Gmail account, Google can easily track your activities online as you browse different websites, which may be hosting Google Analytics or Google ads (Adsense).
Here are ten alternatives to Gmail that do well in terms of privacy:
More information on these providers is available in the secure and private email services guide.
Google Chrome is a popular browser, but it’s also a data collection tool – and many people are taking notice. Just a few days ago, the Washington Post asserted that “Google’s web browser has become spy software,” with 11,000 tracker cookies observed in a single week.
Here are seven alternatives for more privacy:
Of course, there are other alternatives to Chrome, such as Safari (from Apple), Microsoft Internet Explorer/Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi – but these also come with some privacy drawbacks. More discussion on this topic can be found in the guide on secure and private browsers.
If you’re looking for a secure cloud storage option, you can check out these Google Drive alternatives:
Of course, Dropbox is another popular Google drive alternative, but it’s not the best in terms of privacy.
Here are some Google Calendar alternatives:
For those wanting a combined solution for both email and calendar functionality, these providers offer that:
There are many solid Google Docs alternatives available. The largest offline document editing suite is, of course, Microsoft Office. As most people know, however, Microsoft is not the best company for privacy. Nonetheless, there are a few other good Google Docs alternatives:
Here are a few good Google Photos alternatives:
Shoebox was another alternative, but it closed operations in June 2019.
Unfortunately, YouTube alternatives can really be hit or miss, with most struggling to gain popularity.
Tip: Invidio.us is a great Youtube proxy that allows you to watch any Youtube video without logging in, even if the video is somehow restricted. To do this, simply replace [www.youtube.com\] with [invidio.us] in the URL you want to view.
Here are a few Google translate alternatives I have come across:
If you want to translate blocks of text, check out DeepL. If you want in-depth translations for single words or phrases, then Linguee is a good choice.
For website admins, there are many reasons to use an alternative to Google analytics. Aside from privacy concerns, there are also faster and more user-friendly alternatives that also respect your visitors’ privacy.
Many websites host Google Analytics because they run Google Adsense campaigns. Without Google Analytics, tracking performance of these campaigns would be difficult. Nonetheless, there are still better options for privacy.
A map alternative for PCs is OpenStreetMap.
A few Google Maps alternatives for mobile devices include:
Note: Waze is not an “alternative” as it is now owned by Google.
Currently the best Google Play Store alternative is to use F-Droid and then go through the Yalp store. As explained on the official site, F-Droid is an installable catalog of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.
After you have installed F-Droid, you can then download the Yalp store APK, which allows you to download apps from the Google Play Store directly as APK files.
📷The Yalp Store is a good alternative to the Google Play Store.
See the F-Droid website or the official GitHub page for more info. Other alternatives to the Google Play Store include:
Want to ditch the Chromebook and Chrome OS? Here are a few alternatives:
Of course, the other two big operating system alternatives are Windows and Apple’s operating system for MacBooks – Mac OS. Windows, particularly Windows 10, is a very bad option for privacy. While slightly better, Apple also collects user data and has partnered with the NSA) for surveillance.
The biggest alternative to Android is iOS from Apple. But we’ll skip over that for reasons already mentioned. Here are a few Android OS alternatives:
Purism is also working on a privacy-focused mobile phone called the Librem 5. It is in production, but not yet available (estimated Q3 2019).
Here are some alternatives to Google Hangouts:
Google Domains is a domain registration service. Here are a few alternatives:
Here more alternatives for various Google products:
Google forms alternative – JotForm is a free online form builder.
Google Keep alternative – Below are a few different Google Keep alternatives:
Google Fonts alternative – Many websites load Google fonts through Google APIs, but that’s not necessary. One alternative to this is to use Font Squirrel, which has a large selection of both Google and non-Google fonts which are free to download and use.
Google Voice alternative – JMP.chat (both free and paid)
G Suite alternative – Zoho is probably the best option
Google Firebase alternative – Kuzzle (free and open source)
Google Blogger alternatives – WordPress, Medium, and Ghost are all good options.

Hey All!
My name is Isa and I’m the newest member of the BitcoinTaxes team. I’ve been working with Sal (u/Sal-BitcoinTax) in the production and distribution of new episodes of the Bitcoin Taxes Podcast. We typically share our episodes on a few different cryptocurrency subreddits.
Our newest episode of the podcast is out today. This week’s guest is Matt Metras ( /u/BitcoinTaxesMe ) who was on the podcast back in January - a lot has changed in the world since then. Matt is an EA who is super knowledgeable about crypto and crypto taxation.
In this episode, we discuss the IRS tax deadline extension that was issued as a result of COVID-19. We talk about how the pandemic has affected the crypto space, and our roles in it. Matt also shares his experience with the 2020 closed-door crypto IRS Summit, and relays which topics were focused on and which were neglected.
Enjoy the episode, and feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
Episode Highlights
The IRS deadline for any returns or payments due April 15th has been extended to July 15th.
*Since recording this episode, the IRS has provided even more tax extensions to cover individuals, trusts, estates corporations and others.
Read More: IRS Notice 2020-23
Matt attended this summit on March 3rd in Washington DC. It was an invite-only event and although it was not focused on the personal side of taxation, it was discussed. The main focus was the business side of taxation. Of note, an organized central repository of tax transaction information to develop a standardized form for cryptocurrency reporting was discussed. Matt shares his views on the use-case and practicality of something of this magnitude.
In addition, Matt shares with us which topics were glossed over or not even brought up during the summit.
Prior to the coronavirus, it seemed as though we were finally making progress on receiving crypto tax guidance. Matt shares his thoughts on how the coronavirus could play both a positive and negative role in affecting that progress.
The coronavirus has shown the goodness of humanity, but it has also given bad actors more opportunities to scam victims. Matt shares some cryptocurrency scams he has encountered in his line of work.
The BCH Halving occurred this month – Matt gives us a quick rundown about what a halving is, why it occurs, and what it means for crypto traders and enthusiasts.
Poor Greg Maffei!!
Stocks finish Lower
Today was drag all day long without much conviction to the rallies, even after the lows this morning of -716, we managed a close of -445.41 (1.86%), NASDAQ -122.56 (1.44%), S&P500 -62.70 (2.2%), the Russell -53.36 (4.31%) and DJ Transports -174.46 (2.13%). The market internals were much weaker today thanfor yesterday’s gains. NYSE A/D was 5:1 down and NASDAQ was 3:1 lower. Volume was in line with yesterday. Healthcare was the big winner today with UNH was the biggest mover in either direction +76 DPs with BA recovering a touch +36. On the downside the losers were HD -59, V-58, MCD-42, TRV-40, IBM-36, MMM-34 and JPM -32 DPS. Strength in healthcare was mirrored by weakness again in Energy, financials and materials. The news was terrible with retail sales falling off a cliff -8.7%, Empire State Manufacturing -57 points to -78.2 and NAHB housing index -42 to 30. The only bit of good news was from Governor Cuomo of NY today giving his daily report with several of the numbers seeming to plateau.
Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights, and we’ve grown to almost 1900 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s very informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!!
Tonight’s closing comment video (new equipment)
https://youtu.be/0Qhm7GjoTzA
SECTORS: Middleby Corp. (MIDD) was the subject of a negative report from Prescience Point Capital to support their short position. This is not really a new story with Citi downgrading it to neutral and lowering their target price from $115 to just $54 last month. The stock is down from $128 in late February to close today $50.23 -3.77 (6.98%). So, why the headline for Greg Maffei? Well, Greg is the CEO, president and Chairman of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings (LTRPA) and is the owner of roughly 4.6 million shares (97%) of the class B shares (LTRPB). On no news except “trading halted” and “trading resumed” multiple times during the day, the stock closed $4.76 yesterday and opened the day at $4.99 and went on a run, including those 15 or so halts, to hit $134 before coming back to earth and closing $34.69 +29.93, a remarkable 628.78%, and in extended hours is back to $54. At the highs, the stock was up 2788%. So, Greg started off the day with a position worth $21,896,000 saw it grow to $616,400,000 only to be trimmed back to just a scant $159,574,000. So, poor Greg lost roughly just short of a half Billion dollars this afternoon….Clearly a good day, but what a markdown for Poor Greg!

FAANG and Big Cap: were LOWER with GOOGL -20.21, AMZN +11.83, AAPL -4.05, FB -2.45, NFLX +11.44, NVDA -5.16, TSLA +3.61, BABA +2.12, BIDU -.72, BA +1.75, CAT -5.40, DIS -3.17 and XLK $86.50 -2.47 (2.78%).
FINANCIALS were LOWER with GS reporting and unlike the rest of the group bottoming early and reversing from a low of $169.15 to close slightly higher on the day @ $178.52 +.29 while all the rest of the group sank lower. JPM -5.20 (5.45%), BAC -1.64 (6.91%), MS -1.95, C -2.79, PNC -7.19 (7.31%), AIG -1.71, TRV -5.85, AXP -5.29 (5.98%) and XLF $21.65 -.98 (4.33%).
OIL, $19.87 -.24. Oil was HIGHER overnight and by the NY open this morning the best it could do was $20.29 and started lower until it fell in the late afternoon to trade 19.20 before a small rally to close just over $19.85. Tonight, it is up $ .54. Stocks were lower with the XLE $32.06 -1.58 (4.7%).
METALS, GOLD: $1,740.20 -28.70. After the recent gains, Gold broke solidly above $1,700 and traded as high as $1788 yesterday. Today was a major move to the downside, trading as low as 1731.00. I am a buyer between 1680-1710.
BITCOIN: closed $6,740 -210. After we traded in the uptrend, I mentioned this weekend that I felt we’d have to test 6750 and today we hit 6550 before turning back up. While I want to add the 350 sold just over a week ago, I want to wait and see some stabilization. We still own 400 GBTC with an average of $8.06. GBTC closed $7.15 -.18 today.
Tomorrow is another day.

A higher hash rate is associated with higher levels of security. More processing power, naturally, requires more miners. For malicious attackers to be successful, they must control over 50% of the network’s mining power. If they did, these attackers would then have the ability to block new transactions and confirmations. Luckily, the more legitimate miners you have, the more difficult it becomes to coordinate a large enough group to carry a successful attack.
Another important concept to understand is that an increase in processing power does not mean that blocks are mined or verified any faster. Bitcoin is specifically designed to have blocks be mined about every 10 minutes. To maintain this rate, it simply increases the difficulty of its mathematical puzzles to match the increase in computing power.
, difficulty, and mining rewards have a strong interdependence. As mentioned above, when difficulty increases so does the hash rate, and vice versa, in order to obtain the reward. However, through bitcoin halving events, the reward is cut in half every four years. The combination of these factors plays a significant role in determining Bitcoin’s price. More computing power indicates stronger security, which then increases user and investor confidence. Halving events are also generally understood to raise prices as supply becomes more limited. Ideally, these increases would help mining remain profitable enough to maintain or increase hash rates once again.

If you still need a reason to believe, look no further. Get inspired by the reasons we at Everus believe in crypto.
Cryptocurrencies were not just born out of economic necessity. It has its own ideologies and reasons that have deep roots in this space. Most of the early users have recognized that on a basic level, we were in need of a smarter form of money. Bitcoin (BTC) was identified as a tool that could be a cross-border currency, create cheaper transactions and increase ease of use in exchanging value.
If you’ve spent any time on crypto Reddit or Twitter, or at meetups and events, you know what we mean. Of course, this society or the community can be divided, but it’s also filled with some of the brightest minds in technology and economics. The crypto world is filled with smart, quirky, hilarious, and passionate people who have created a culture unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Over and over, cryptocurrency has shown that it’s here to stay, and personally, we can’t wait to see where it will go.
Although people claim to, nobody really knows where the crypto space will take us. Read more on the article where our attention was attracted.
“To pin the future of blockchain on any one currency, let alone the initial one, means limiting blockchain potential; a potential that once scaled promises to have an unequaled impact on our day-to-day lives. And that really is the stuff of stars.”

U. S. stocks rebounded more than 500 points last night, and the gains are okay. In fact, from the news side, there are several reasons. First of all, the epidemic situation has actually slowed down. Whether it is the United States or the main epidemic countries in Europe, it is a very good phenomenon. Of course, there are still two large population countries continue to increase, namely Russia and India. Yesterday Putin also said that their situation is getting worse, and India will not talk about it. Compared with this novel coronavirus, their remaining infectious diseases are numerous and there is a trend of group immunization (personal guess).
There are also rumors that the Agricultural Bank of China is conducting internal tests on the central bank's digital currency DCEP wallet on the evening of April 14. If it is true, it will be a major benefit, but it is only a rumor. It is inevitable that many parties deliberately released a news war and will track whether the message surface is confirmed.
