Focusing in the avoid at all the apps that track you, skipping from Google Play Services, Facebook, Amazon in general big tech.

Alternative Apps
I really like this list Awesome-Privacy and DeGoogle.

The both list are very good to start, For youtube, no ads, no trackers, no sponsor, newPipe is very good, but Tubular is awesome,



for Desktop I recommend Materialio, good replacement for Youtube, and no tracks no ads.

For explorer Files Material Files is very good, and have a option to make a internal temporary FTP server, and you can connect from you computer using FileZilla client and download your files.

To listening musics Spotube is decent but works only for Music, To Podcast Antenna Pod .

To message, step back and use SimpleX, or PGP communication for any messageria service, if you don't have Xmpp server you need to guarantee that use PGP to encrypt your message, but the another people need to learning PGP.

Email proton is a decent to start, they have a good support and you can download the PGP keys and you, but I still recommend that you learn about PGP and use yours.
