I don't get the appeal of YouTube. I use it for maybe the odd music video or something, but often you'll just get someone's annoying commentary instead of the actual thing.
I just ditched Proton Unlimited after moving to it last year from Google. The Drive app just never worked properly. Ended up going with Fastmail for email as I'm in Australia anyway and so far they've been good.
I'm still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?
Maybe, but I'm not a huge Linux user and every time I dip my toe in I run out of tinkering time. Plus I had the Air laying around and it all installed so easily.
I keep hearing about Kagi, are they reputable? I moved from Google to DDG and I do a fair bit of searching so I would be interested, but I guess there's a bit of a one-company-knowing-my-search-history going on (totally unironically).

I live without it and it's great! Try it.
