I recently tried to dump Google but in the end, settled on google apps for business (eg: something@yourname.com).
Apparently it isn't as intrusive as punter Gmail although you should fiddle with all the privacy settings no matter what service you use.
Last pass sounds good but I'm yet to try it.
And of course, encrypt all the things.

Thank you! I don't have a specific problem with Google, I don't like having all of my eggs in one basket though. Point taken that they know everything about me through my friends anyway.
Sifting through the easiest things I can do:
Encrypt my computer (and my phone?)
Get lastpass
I like the sound of this: "Install a fine grained permissions manager, disable all permissions that aren't required for normal operation of the app, and aren't dependencies for other apps." and if I can find an app that does that without needing the phone to be rooted I will.
Some of these instructions:
"Install few to no apps, only those you explicitly trust
Use Signal for full end to end encryption
Use streisand as a VPN
Turn off as many permissions as practical, i.e. location services, etc
Use Firefox with uOrigin adblocker"
might get used as well - e.g. Firefox with the adblocker...
Maybe I am paranoid.
