Is it unwise to rely on Proton for Degoogling?

It's pretty much a one stop shop, almost like a privacy focused version of Google with the exception that they aren't free.

I just worry that they may increase their prices, lower the free amount of storage, or do something that is not in customers' best interests after they become more popular and start making more money.

Not google related but I haven't been able to get rid of Messenger, Snapchat or Instagram due to friends and family. There are also no custom Roms for my current phone (Nothing 4a) so waiting for the new Motorola to drop before I try GrapheneOS. And im stuck with my MetaQ3 for VR games until i can afford a Steam frame which are unfortunately quite expensive.

Best smart watch alternatives?

Currently have a Fitbit which i bought 4-5 years ago that still works, but of course it relies on Google health for syncing and firmware updates.

Looking to sell or donate it and pick up something non-Google (or Apple) related but don't know what are the best alternatives.

Is it safe to uninstall Gboard?

I have the Nothing 4a Pro using the Nothing keyboard and it works well. Can I safely uninstall Gboard using AUD?
