Oh yeah no problem, just be alive in 2023 and don't use any Google products. Totally an easy choice! /s

Yes, it very much is.

It actually really, really isn't. Just try blocking Google services using an ad blocker and see how many websites don't work. How Google track who you bank with, where you have social media accounts and basically everything they can with Captcha. If you don't connect to google.com, gstatic.com and maybe fonts.google.com then so much stuff online simply does not work.
