The timeline got fucked when they killed Google Reader. That was Google's Harambe incident.

Have you not seen the corpse that is Google hangouts still attached to Gmail? Google died with inbox and I hope they go under after just barely giving back to open source projects they profited off of.

RIP Inbox. Shortwave just isn't the same.

I’m an iPhone person because of reasons, but I honestly think Pixel phones are the best Android devices I’ve ever seen.

Pixel phones are a joke? They've been the best phones I've owned.

Yeah I like them the most as well and funnily enough they are the easiest phone to degoogle

I hate Google and try not use it anymore but there's still one thing I can't do without : Google Maps.

Like everything else, advertising pressure has ruined it. You can still search, but just zoom in and look over an area to see what is there? So many businesses missing, because they don’t pay Google to advertise. Apple Maps shows them all, because they don’t make money from advertising.

Open Street Maps are ok, but my area has a lot of businesses missing. If you know the address you need to go to, then it’s great for routing.

My personal hobby horse with Google killing things is Reader.

Have you tried open street maps? I suggest organic street maps for your phone

I have tried using it for a while but a few updates ago the search functionality was kinda messed up (and still is) so I had to switch back to gmaps :(

Organic Maps are great, however if you're looking for shops and restaurants (or rather their reviews) Google Maps are second to none.

I can never stick with those alternatives, the traffic conditions feature is simply too good to miss
