I don’t know, the article says you can’t get away from Google but it’s pretty easy to reduce your exposure.

Use another email provider and another search engine and you have pretty much removed most of the sensitive data they have on you.

If you enjoy Youtube, just install F-droid and then Newpipe to get a completely ad free experience on your phone as well. And it’s fast, has background playing with optional popup for video, higher resolution support etc. It’s excellent.
