Over the last months I've been testing various online services that I find to be among the best alternatives to mainstream services:
1. DuckDuckGo or Searx instead of Google, Bing, Yandex, Yahoo and others
2. Rumble instead YouTube
3. Lingva Translate instead of Google Translate, Bing translate or Yandex translate etc.
4. OpenStreeMap instead of Google Maps or Bing Maps
5. Proton Mail instead of Outlook, Tutanota, GMail and others
Bonus to these is software and addons which is used to access these services as well as other web sites since they affect your privacy as well:
1. Firefox instead of Chrome, MS Edge and others
2. uBlock Origin and Noscript to block ads (I use both)
3. Cookie Auto Delete to auto delete unwanted cookies
4. Linux OS instead of Windows or Mac
It will take some time to get used to these, but once you do you'll feel their value and won't miss mainstreams, I assure you.
Please do share your alternatives if you have them or believe they may be better than these.
