I created an infographic of privacy-forward alternatives to Google products...and would love your feedback.

Is it easy to use? Enough white space? Intuitive? Sharable? Is there anything I'm missing?

The infographic image in this post is NOT clickable. The link above will give you a downloadable PDF with working hyperlinks.

Re: the legend, "easy set-up/use" means either that this is a big part of the alternative product's branding, or I've used it myself and found it easy.

YSK that while Proton Mail is based in Switzerland and claims to be politically neutral, its CEO has praised Republicans on a few occasions.

You're missing Immich under Google Photos. Crypt.ee is another good one.

Replace Google News with RSS. It is more equivalent than any of those you listed.

I would add Brave search.

What is Epic browser? Replace with Orion from Kagi.

OnlyOffice/LibreOffice for docs.
