Currently wondering if the black Friday deal for proton is worth it. Gmail has suited me fine, but I hear it’s bad for privacy. I’m on an android phone anyway, so switching email services might not even matter.

    I moved to Proton from Gmail + friends, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’ve tried degoogling, and while that hasn’t always been successful, email and calendar have been two of the absolute simplest things to leave behind in Google.

    One (quite unknown) perk you get with certain Proton plans is you also get access to SimpleLogin, which is an email proxy service. It’s great if you set it up on one of your domains, so you can create not just unique passwords but also unique email addresses for accounts you create online.
