The % indicates how much of my activity has been switched. Getting to 100% may be impossible because of family integration on some apps so I'm focusing on reducing my Google exposure.

My most recent change has been Google Maps --> CoMaps. I had originally started testing Here WeGo but got looped into a thread (thanks to @ElwoodCity@thecanadian.social ) and switched to CoMaps. So far I like it and I'm using it mostly to determine driving distances or walking routes. Our car doesn't have AndroidAuto so I'm not using it for driving... yet. We are on a waiting list for a new vehicle, an EV due February 2027, so that's when we'll see how it stacks up to the evil #TechBros app.
