Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. (www.thatprivacyguy.com)

Not simple but worth the effort IMO. Totally agree with your list, use FOSS when possible, Adguard Home makes for great DNS filtering, I've been a fan of Kagi for search, gotta pay a little but get a ton of control over your search engine.

If someone is comfortable with computers I highly recommend looking into a VPS, you can get one cheaper then cloud services and use tools like Yunohost to make getting started self hosting not hard.
