How to stop using Google - for search, email, video, maps and more

If you want to take a stand over tax, Google will only notice if it doesn't get your attention. Here are some usable alternatives

Want to show Google that you don't approve of its tax-avoidance tactics? From its humble beginnings as a project at Stanford University, the company has grown into one which has become almost unavoidable online – and in some cases offline, as it also owns the loss-making Motorola Mobility mobile phone maker.

So how do you go about avoiding Google?

Search

This is the big one, of course. Most people in Europe who are online use Google every day at some point; it has more than 90% of the search market (notably because it offers multilingual support). The adverts that appear around Google searches and on other pages generate about 95% of Google's entire revenues. So if you avoid those, then you are – in your own small way – striking a blow against tax avoidance.

What are the alternatives? Once you start trying them, my experience is that search is actually more of a commodity than you might think.

i really recommend people to change the searchbar its good way to get away from google. Its mostly already visited sites we visit which means the search bar can automatically give your results of sites which you visited.

yandex browser is good for that i use google but my searchbar is yandex meaning every time i am selected a visited site the data goes to yandex not google. Google is an american company. So i recommend using a browser where you can change the search bar.
