Ugh... I feel I'm going too far, but yet to not do so feels dumb.
I've basically accidentally de-Googled my life.
So far I've moved email to Fastmail, calendar to Fastmail, Google Drive has been replaced by Syncthing, Maps I use whilst logged out, authenticator has been replaced with Aegis (Android), and password manager with Bitwarden.
But now I've even stopped using Chrome, am using VPN more, relying on NoScript and Firefox.
Seems weird... what started were concerns that I'd made my email account too powerful and that all my eggs were in one basked (a basket where an automated script might find me in breach of some undefined rule and then rescind all access to the account).
Has now been further reinforced by reading about the sheer breadth of tracking that is being undertaken and how they're making blocking it really hard.
No real point to this comment except to say that my prior posts are out of date... my approach to being online is evolving. And LFGSS is one of the very few properties I trust online.
