There is a point when a company put their revenue ahead of their customers. I cut back or stop doing business with companies when they do that. There are other good, and sometimes better search engines out there.
You're done with Google, but they aren't done with you.
The company's "services" are everywhere: you can't escape their advertisement, and you certainly can't escape their ubiquitous surveillance. Even if you make an effort not to use any of their products, it's almost impossible to avoid hitting their servers and giving your personal data away in one form or another. And they have a LOT of data collection methods you can't see and you can't avoid, so they'll know everything there is to know about you whether you like it or not.

There's only two end games with Big Brother Google:
- Uncle Sam curb stomps them while it's still possible
- Cybernetic totalitarianism, replete with autonomous deathbots
