I've withdrawn to self-hosted local almost entirely. In 9 months, my google account will be shut down all the way.
Although I've lost a little convenience, the shuttering of a ton of other access, accounts, services, etc has been good overall. I can tell you with confidence where my data now lives, and how my information flows around.
There are loose ends; I don't like smart TV apps, but I have to live with those.
I have better attention span, I read way more. And honestly, I've realized that an online life is a lot of management, which I think is a silent mind-killer.
Disconnect the TV from the internet and use those services from a spare laptop computer which you can control. My TV hasn't been connected to the net in years. It's more than doable.
There aren't really a preponderance of client applications that will work with my TV remote. I did kodi for years a decade ago and asking someone to pass the wireless keyboard is a pain in the ass.
The real issue is that my wife sometimes likes to watch her streaming services, so I can't just tell her to use what is effectively a web browser for this.
At the moment, I heavily filter what the TV can access outside its subnet and that seems to be the best compromise.
Curious what do you use for search? I have moved to ecosia but it currently gets its stuff from google and bing.
I have to admit i use duck duck go. Might be time to change, though.
As I understand it Ecosia will be moving to the EU search system eventually. I am sure the ads will remain google though. They tell me frequently that my adblodker is not good for them so I am guessing most of the ads are being blocked other than the sponsored pages.
