De-Google Your Life: A Practical Guide to Taking Back Control

Google knows more about you than your closest friend.

This guide shows you how to change that, without breaking your digital life in the process.

De-Google Your Life is a practical, step-by-step guide to replacing Google services with privacy-respecting alternatives. It’s designed for real people (professionals, parents, small business owners) who are ready to reduce tracking, protect their data, and stop handing over their personal life to Big Tech.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You don’t need to quit everything overnight.
You just need a plan, and this guide gives you one.

✅ What’s Inside:

• 12 clear, actionable chapters covering email, search, browser, maps, cloud storage, YouTube, and more
• A bonus chapter on removing your personal info from Google Search results
• Honest, no-scare-tactic guidance, just practical privacy wins
• Ideal for beginners and high-privacy IQ readers alike

💡 Also included:

• The Google Containment Strategy: For when you can’t quit Google cold turkey, learn how to wall it off, reduce tracking, and stay in control
• Quick Start Checklist: A printable, high-impact list of privacy swaps you can make today
• Google Alternatives & Tools Directory: A fully hyperlinked list of replacements and privacy tools mentioned in the guide, organized by category, ready to explore
• FAQs + Case Study: Real-world concerns answered, and a true story of Google’s AI scanning a user's tax return without permission

Why Pay for This When There’s Free Info Online?

You’re right - there are tons of free De-Google checklists, blog posts, and YouTube videos out there. But most of them have one of three problems:

• They’re overwhelming — just big lists of tools with no plan
• They’re outdated or biased — filled with affiliate links or old recommendations
• They don’t speak to your reality — where you still need to use Google for work, school, or family

This guide is different.

It’s built for real people who want a clear, practical path, not a tech overhaul.
It walks you through exactly what to replace, what to keep (for now), and how to contain Google when you can’t cut it out completely.

You’re not just paying for a list, you’re paying for:

• A trustworthy guide you don’t have to piece together yourself
• A clean strategy that saves you hours of research
• Smart tools like the Quick Start Checklist, Containment Strategy, and Google Alternatives Directory to keep you on track
• Updates and credibility from a voice you trust (Secrets of Privacy)

Whether you want to ditch Gmail, stop using Chrome, or just stop feeling watched, this guide meets you where you are.

Take back control. One tool at a time.
