"De-Googling is the practice of intentionally reducing or eliminating the use of Google products and services in your life. This movement is driven by concerns about privacy, data collection, and the dominance of a single company in the tech industry."

"Gemini tells us that in 2022, there were approximately 5.4 billion malware attacks, that ransomware attacks increased by 68% year-over-year in 2023, and data breaches are increasing with millions of records being compromised every year."
