Top-level
@samir I've been trying to avoid Google products whenever I can. The only ones I still use are Gmail (lots of things to move off of there, including some I will probably forget), YouTube (no decent alternative) and Google Translate (still seems better than Bing Translate). Oh, actually, I use Chrome, but only for compatibility-testing my work's Web apps. I don't use it for browsing. 10 comments
@meredith @hyrulian DeepL *always* prioritizes a coherent sentence over any level of accuracy. Maybe it's because I'm mostly familiar with a rather non-concordant language pair (English and Japanese), but DeepL is largely worthless for anything beyond the most simple textbook-level phrase construction. Google Translate produces "worse" (less coherent) translations between the two, but what it produces generally has a more logical path that I can follow, even if it also isn't what I would consider to be accurate.  @hyrulian when I was moving away from Gmail to Tutanota, I started by setting up email forwarding to my new inbox. that way I'd still receive and read an email from a service I'd forgotten about, and then I'd go their website to update my contact info right away. definitely a lengthy process, but in the end I've managed to pretty much catch them all.   @zerodime @hyrulian @samir I use Translate, and their search as a last resort. I have a Feedburner account but that was from before Google bought it. - Firefox (browser) There’s probably other stuff I use that could be considered an alternative to Google stuff and not remembering off the top of my head… |

@hyrulian Depending on your language pairs, DeepL is a much better translation service. Nowhere near as many languages as Google, though.
