    I left Google 5-6 years ago. I do occasionally use YouTube, but that’s about it.

    It’s surprisingly easy to get used to once you do it.

        Protonmail is one of the more popular options.

          Is the Spam Filtering equally as good?

          That’s the reason I went Gmail back in the day.

          I get hundreds of emails a day. All filtered out properly.

            Dad? I told you, don’t type your email address in every popup and click every email link 🤣

              When you’ve been on the Internet for 20 years it is inevitable that your address ends up on an email list, or two. They all share information with each other

        I’m not the same person but I jumped ship from Gmail to Outlook (when that big rebrand launched a decade ago) and a few years ago to Fastmail.

        It doesn’t hold a candle to ProtonMail’s privacy and security but I found it handy since it’s a complete mail, contacts, calendar solution with syncing via standards and a large number of available aliases. And since I pay, I’m the customer.

        Good options exist now, including proton and skiff. Recommend checking out skiff. Everyone knows proton.

        Skiff gives you 10GB free. Proton only gives 500MB.

        That said we should be paying for email. If you don’t, you wind up with Gmail, where they read and analyze the contents of your email to build a profile on you and serve you ads. Moment I noped out of Gmail was when I realized they were aggregating sales receipts in my inbox and tracking the products I was buying. Wow, when did I ever agree to that? Guess it was time move on.
