I hear so many people talking about this like there's literally no way about going around these issues.
Is it that unimaginable to use an alternative search engine like DuckDuck go? To use tor? To use a VPN? To disable javascript? To block ads? To put some IPs in your /etc/hosts? To use OpenOffice instead of Google Docs and MS Office? To use Proton Mail instead of Gmail?
These products even have nice user interfaces these days! Privacy isn't that hard. These companies offer a service for free (mostly). If you can't do it, I think it's mostly because you just don't care.
