Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.

What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don’t you like, would you recommend them?

    That’s pretty accurate tbh, I’m ashamed to say I only know English, but a couple downsides include poor suggestions and aggressive replacement (doesn’t save if you prefer an acronym to be lowercase), and it’s amusing watching it freak out when I enter an email address. I do need it though - I’m glad it *does have those features, and a clipboard. Plus I often remote access my PC and my Linux server, and being able to use up/down arrow keys is an absolute must, at least for now. Not even the Gboard had that and it took a little while to find one.

    I suppose the best keyboard for you is determined by your reliance on features like autocomplete, predictive input (i.e. listing emails in an email box), clipboard, multi-language support, and aesthetic customisation!
