Thank you for this run-down, I'm going through several of the same questions. I'm also with Proton, I prefer Ecosia as the browser, and I didn't know about Ente!

@rafa_font I appreciate this timely article, but the author lost me when they said that switching email providers is "easy". For me email may be the hardest service of all to change because my Gmail address is my username and contact method for hundreds of websites, and Gmail also contains 20 years of outboard memory that I consult daily.

deleted my Google account recently and installed E os on my phone, which is de-Googled. I had a somewhat popular Youtube account but I got tired of serving capricious black box algos and I hate ads. I've used Protonmail since forever so that was simple. I use a paper calendar and live stream to my own site with Owncast. Its amazing how much time and personal data you give these services when you think about it.

@mushguys Yep, these platforms are very user data hungry.
