Google used to be one of the great things from the Internet. They started with the aim not to be evil, which is the most important you can ask, but in 2018 they relayed this central motto to some annex and indeed started to behave evilly. They still remain of a much better standard than other members from the GAFAM but head in the wrong direction. Censorship on YouTube for instance is particularly worrisome.
Here's a list of our favorite:
- http://www.google.com -- main page
- http://www.gmail.com -- Gmail
- http://maps.google.co.uk -- Google maps
- http://maps.google.com/streetview -- Google street
- http://images.google.co.uk -- Images
- http://scholar.google.com -- Google Scholar for scientific literature

https://plus.google.com(dead) -- Google+ - http://translate.google.com -- Traduction
- http://books.google.com/ngrams -- Word statistics
- http://books.google.com/books -- Google books
May be you are less familiar with:
- http://www.google.org -- the charity
- http://googleblog.blogspot.com -- blogs
- http://www.google.com/trends
The Google products we don't fancy a lot:
- http://www.google.com/analytics -- not using it yet
- http://video.google.com -- not the best
- http://news.google.co.uk -- not the best
- http://www.google.com/finance -- we're not into that business
On 16 January (2020), I purchased a Google plan (Google One) to bring my unending escape from lacking space to an end [1].
