Proton + Ghostery wombo combo should still work for now for ad blocking and VPN.

Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.

I can’t deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.

In saying that, it’s really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don’t buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.

I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.
