MODERATORS
I use graphene OS and Magic Earth instead of Google maps. I only turn on location when navigating. GOS also surfaces app permissions in a more obvious and granular way so I tend to reject most permissions and wait to see if it breaks anything. I also try to use open source apps from F-Droid instead of the Google store. If I need an app on Google store, I use Aurora as my client so I can install apps anonymously.
There's a number of additional steps I take. Although it seems like a lot, I still feel like I'm not doing everything I could. What really matters though is that I'm always making progress over time.
The degoogle sub is a good resource, as is the !privacy@lemmy.ml comm.
