Jumped a month ago or so after reading about their "product enhancements" and not being able to install an extension to download a YouTube clip I needed for a work project. Water is excellent, also removing them out of my search as much as possible.

Recommend Degoogle Yourself community for weeding them out wherever you're comfortable. I still have them for photos and maps is better than anything comparable but have given them that much less data to sell. !degoogle@lemmy.ml
