Rand-Uzer Not 100% true unfortunately.
There are things that use Google you cant see, do you have a bank? does its app provide push notifications to an Android device for things like showing payment transactions? Likely using firebase.
Use internet without a VPN? 99% of the time its going to be using Google DNS, most ISPs go to Google DNS after them, unless specifically configured to, the other one is likely Cloudflare (which is much better than Google).
I watch quite a lot of You Tube on a Firefox fork
Still Google..., they will have tracking points, they can track you outside the browser, just because you have Arkenfox or something, doesn't mean there are not external identifiers to track you.
Honestly (And I mean this), good for you if you have eliminated Google services from your life, I hope to join you there someday, but I feel its unrealistic to say I'm essentially invisible from big tech, because you cant, you will use a service that by proxy, uses Google in some way, you'll use a site that has some Google analytics in, and then there are the other tech giants like Meta or Amazon.
