How about teaching them to install Adblockers?

Klingt für mich etwas nach Panikmache. Das Gesundheitssystem muss sich immer für Katastrophensituationen wappnen, sobald die Wahrscheinlichkeit für deren Eintritt mehr als 0% sind.

No it doesn’t. If Google stops supporting it, the community forks it and continues development. Has happened often in the past.

Raspberry Pi with Plex?

Chrome ➡️ Brave - Open source and privacy focused

Search ➡️ Qwant - Good search results and privacy focusing

Photos ➡️ Immich - Pretty much Google Photos but self hosted

Drive ➡️ Nextcloud - Use it with Hetzner Storage Share, pretty cheap and easy to use

Gmail ➡️ mailbox.org - European email hosting focusing on privacy

Meet ➡️ Nextcloud
