@OlgaA , very good news.
PD I can even add one more product to those described in this article.
To keep privacy there are excellent alternatives for Google products, except one and that is YouTube, but I found an application that can alleviate this. It is called FreeTube and it is a Desktop Client, from YouTube and that even allows importing to YouTube subscriptions and continuing on YouTube with full functionality but completely anonymous, to share the videos with cookie free links or through invidio.us (which you can also use)GitHub https://github.com/FreeTubeApp

@Catweazle for Android there is NewPipe. It has the advantage of a much cleaner (and more configurable) interface as well as removing annoying ads and other crap you have to click or scroll past all the time.
The only thing I still use the YouTube app for is commenting on videos. I can read them in NewPipe but haven't seen a way to respond.

@mossman , Freetube is obviously a PC app, on Android I don't use a client, I'm just going to Invidious with Vivaldi. I have a low-end mobile and 8Gb does not give to install many things, that's why I use many online applications, installed I have the most essential, (Vivaldi, Blokada, F-Droid, a few games FOSS, Bitdefender, WindscribeVPN, management apps ...)

I just came across Computerworld article for best secure browser for 2020!
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3549181/the-best-secure-browsers-2020.html
In their list of browser they excluded all Chromium-based browsers with the following statement: "Chromium-based browsers that promise to cater to privacy (and in some instances de-Google the core browser) but ultimately there's no guarantee this is the case – so we've left those out."
I am not a security expert but I find this statement questionable.

@Mogle , indeed it is questionable, each browser is as private as the user wants to do. It does not depend on whether it is a chromium or not, it depends on the measurements and the behavior displayed by the user.Complete privacy does not exist on the network, not even using Tor and VPN, this is a fact, moreover, privacy is null if with any browser, however private it is, it is still searched with Google and posting on Facebook.
A private browser does not track the user and does not use the data for commercial purposes, apart from blocking trackers and filtering personal data, this can also do a Chromium and p. ex. Brave or Vivaldi are surely as private or more than Firefox or others. -
