Just a log of “my transition” and what have works well.
I used Google Maps a lot. I have moved to https://mapy.com/ works surprisingly well for navigation and regular map need, not very strong in POI, but that was expected.
Google Analytics swapped for https://dashboard.simpleanalytics.com/ - should have done this way earlier, just an overall better product for my needs.
Exited Goodreads for https://app.thestorygraph.com/ - zero problems
ChatGPT/Gemini moved to https://chat.mistral.ai/ - this one is a slight downgrade on both functionality and results. (so I am still cheating a bit on this one)
Moved to here, PieFed from Reddit - not regrets.
I was using Brave and Duckduckgo/EcoSia from before. I would consider moving away from Brave for a similar private but European browser.
There is a way to add custom search engines, if you have any that are not on the standard list. And at least on my phone Qwant is in the default list of search engines. Maybe they added it at some point
Yes, I did have qwant be my default search engine by setting it as a custom one (PC and mobile). I think it is now a build in default now (just checked on mobile) which makes things much easier
