The DeGoogle ranking is a 1-10 scale of how far one is willing to go to rid their life of Google. It is also used to determine the level of DeGoogling an article about Google is.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a DeGoogler are you?

Level 1: Google Fanatic - Not worried about DeGoogling at all, will go for every Google product and service, and possibly go against DeGooglers
Level 2: Google Cautious - A little worried about Google, will rid their life of some Google services, but not all. Will still use some Google Services, and may or may not block Google trackers
Level 3: Google Anxious - Worried about Google, and will rid their life of Google services up to their comfort level.
Level 4: Meek Anti-Google - Will cut out as many Google products from their life as they can, and possibly turn down jobs that use Google services
Level 5: Weak Anti-Google - Will cut out all Google products from their life, except for difficult ones to get rid of, such as YouTube, or Android
Level 6: Medium Anti-Google - Will cut out all Google products from their life, and will actively try to avoid Android and YouTube as well
Level 7: DeGoogler - Successfully cut out all Google products from their life, and will prevent themselves from getting into any other Google products
Level 8: DeGoogler strong - Has cut out all Google products from their life, not trying new Google services, and actively avoiding other services that have a strong emphasis on Google functionality. Will even turn down job offers that involve usage of Google products and services.
Level 9: Strict DeGoogler - Has cut out all Google products from their life, avoids all possible connections and pings to Google, won't use Google services, actively avoids sites that have a strong emphasis on Google functionality, will even block Google fonts and graphics
Level 10: Pure anti-Google - Will go to the point where they won't enter a different room or building that uses Google products or services, or displays the word Google anywhere. Will not use anything Google, even fonts and graphics, will turn down Google related jobs, will go the point of total social isolation to prevent Google from entering their lives.

Note It is not recommended to go above level 9. Level 10 is the strictest level, and is considered unhealthy

Click/tap here to expand/collapse the translation notes section

Translations in languages other than English are machine translated and are not yet accurate. No errors have been fixed yet as of February 5th 2021. Please report translation errors here make sure to backup your correction with sources and guide me, as I don't know languages other than English well (I plan on getting a translator eventually) please cite wiktionary and other sources in your report. Failing to do so will result in a rejection of the correction being published.

Note: due to limitations with GitHub's interpretation of markdown (and pretty much every other web-based interpretation of markdown) clicking these links will redirect you to a separate file on a separate page that isn't my GitHub profile page. You will be redirected to the seanpm2001/seanpm2001 repository, where the README is hosted.

Translations are done with Google Translate due to limited or no support for the languages I need in other translation services like DeepL and Bing Translate. For some reason, the formatting (links, dividers, bolding, italics, etc.) is messed up in various translations. It is tedious to fix, and I do not know how to fix these issues in languages with non-latin characters, and right to left languages (like Arabic) extra help is needed in fixing these issues

Due to maintenance issues, over 25 translations are out of date and are using Version 8 or Version 9 of this README file. A translator is needed. Also, as ofApril 1st 2021, it is going to take me a while to get all the new links working.

🎌️ Flag guide 🎌️

🚩️🏴️🏳️ Flags were beginning to get added in version 2 of this document. I was originally just going to add the Ukraine 🇺🇦️ flag, but decided to add more, until every language had at least 1 flag. They were done purely with the existing knowledge of the developer. In version 3, flags were added for every language. There are some notes that go with this:

🌐️ [Unions 🇪🇺️ and Nations 🇺🇳️] 🌐️

Languages listed here that are official languages of the European Union have a European Union flag 🇪🇺️ next to them. As of 2022 March 14th, there are currently 27 languages recognized by the European Union, from 27 different member states.

Languages listed here that are official languages of the United Nations have a United Nations flag 🇺🇳️ next to them. As of 2022 March 14th, there are currently 6 languages recognized by the European Union (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish) alongside 193 different member states and 2 observer states.

🌏️ [One China (PRC) 🇨🇳️ Two China (Taiwan) 🇹🇼️ Hong Kong 🇭🇰️ and Macau 🇲🇴️] 🌏️

For neutrality reasons, languages listed here that have an official majority in Chinese speakers will receive all 4 of these flags, even if the language isn't Chinese or in the Sino family of languages.

🌐️ [Global languages 🌐️] 🌐️

Currently, 1 global language is listed, and that is Esperanto. Esperanto is not native to any countries, its goal is to be a universal lingua franca (Latin translation: bridge language) it is represented with a globe with meridians or 🌐️

💞️ [Regarding sexuality 🏳️‍🌈️] 💞️

Sexuality is not measured here, I feel it would be unnecessary, as you are picking out a language, not a sexuality.

💠️ [Location of flag 🚩️] 💠️

Flags are located at the end of each language name (after the Romanization) with one space before, to the right.

Like this:

[Pl Polski Polish 🇵🇱️]

But not like this:

[Pl Polski 🇵🇱️ Polish]

And also not like this:

[Pl 🇵🇱️ Polski Polish]

2022.03.12

I was so angry and frustrated. I didn't save the file, and my computer randomly froze up twice, then crashed. I had to re-add all the flags, it took an hour to do so originally, and I was just seconds away from finishing. I couldn't save the file quick enough. Luckily, all the research was still in my head, and there was no data that wasn't easily replacable (identically) so it is a type of important work that was the best thing to lose, since it was the easiest to recreate, taking me less than 20 minutes

Other notes:

⚠️ A language is missing: Latvian

ℹ️ Possibly supporting the next 126 languages that are going to be added to Google Translate

🗜️ Plans to automate this process with the @AUTOMATE2001 bot

⛔️ Need to find a way to work with these languages on services other than Google Translate.

⚠️ There might be noticeable lag in this section due to how many flag emojis are in use.
