Honestly, for me, the hardest one to replace is YouTube. I think the best I can do is to create an account specifically for it + use firefox containers.

#12As usual on these lists, no alternatives to Music, and no alternatives to Voice. Voice is the big one for anyone who's still on it I think.
Isn't music one of the easier ones to replace? Spotify, apple, many others.

#13Anyone using any of these email services? I'm not looking for a workplace product, I just want to be able to get myself out of Gmail reliance and gradually get my family away from it too.
I can highly recommend FastMail. This is the exact scenario I was in, and it has performed far better than Gmail in almost every aspect.

The key is to use your own domain for email. The rest doesn't matter as much.
Email is not secure, no matter what service you use. It is transferred in plain text between providers.

#15Wow, I didn't know about https://wego.here.com and both the UX and the map design are miles ahead of Google's, to my taste. Nice!

I use Fastmail and could not be happier. The product is great, excellent customer service (you talk with a person right away), affordable, easy to setup, out of the box aliases. I strongly recommend them.

I've been using Zoho for personal-domain email, it's been a low-maintenance and cheap ($12/year) solution. That said I can't speak for the quality of their mail client, I use a native app (Mail.app/Spark).

Yup, this is me. There is no alternative to Google Voice, which is sad... it's such a neat service.
I moved my Google Voice number to OpenPhone [1] (YC S18). No relation besides being a paid ($10/month) customer. If you have T-Mobile in the US, they have a similar offering called DIGITS [2] you might try (although OpenPhone offers more features for the price).
