It is extremely HARD to avoid Google or Alphabet. Alphabet is the parent company of Google. However, Google will still retain control of the products we all know: search, ads, maps, YouTube, Google Play Store and Android.
Some people may still be confused as to what brands and companies are now under the control of Alphabet. Therefore, here are the ABCs of everything Alphabet Inc. currently owns:
• A - Alphabet / Android / AdSense / Analytics / Ara / AdMob / Alerts
• B - Blogger / Boston Dynamics / Books
• C - Calico / Cardboard / Capital
• D - Drive / DeepMind / Design / DoubleClick
• E - Earth / Express
• F - Fiber / Fi / Flights / FeedBurner / Firebase / Finance
• G - Google / Gmail / Glass / Groups
• H - Hangouts
• I - Images / Ingress / Inbox / Invite Media
• J - Jump
• K - Keep
• L - Life Sciences / Local / Loon
• M - Maps / My Business / Makani
• N - Nest / News / Nexus / Now
• O - Offers
• P - Plus / Play / Photos / Picasa / Pixate / Patents
• Q - (Nexus) Q
• R - Refine / reCaptcha
• S - Search / Shopping / SageTV /Stackdriver / Skybox / Skia / Scholar
• T - Translate / Tango
• U - N/A
• V - Voice / Ventures / VirusTotal / Video
• W - Wallet / Wing
• X - X Labs
• Y - YouTube
• Z - Project Z / Zagat
All the more reason, AB. I’ve gotten along quite well without any of the Alphabet brands/products listed, save a rare Youtube visit. It helps.. I suppose.. that I live in a total Apple world. Maps has been most useful...I doubt Apple uses google’s maps
