... Proton is still big tech
According to a wikipedia search that I could cross reference more, Proton AG is 500 employees and Alphabet is 190k (380 times Proton).
What is your definition of big tech? I was only including huge monopolistic monoliths, are they "huge tech"?
I guess, I just generally try to avoid large ecosystems where they still could capture the market
My strategy about that is to avoid putting all my eggs on the same basket :
They are based out of the USA aren’t they? Luckily there are many Nextcloud providers in EU and email like mailbox.org
They're based in Switzerland, but def still big tech
