Although you can degoogle yourself from using any services by Google directly, there are hardly any websites that aren’t using Google Analytics for tracking their traffic and or Google AdWords for marketing. I don’t use ANYTHING by Google (directly). I am using FreeTube to watch YouTube videos kind of anonymously. Other than that I won’t use any service by Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Twitter etc. I am no way thinking the sites I am visiting are doing the same. You can only escape so much.

FreeTube sounds great although I already use Invidious on the web and of course prefer all other stuff on LBRY.
