As others have said, remove all proton stuff that you can. You are just replacing one centralized service with another. Google started out good too and look where we are now. Never put too many eggs in one basket.
They have almost twice as many google apps though. Why didn't you mention those?
There are arrows between the icons. The google ones are what they are switching away from.
My answer to this is to use a custom domain with an email aliasing service.
I've gone through about half of the 400 accounts in my password manager and moved them over. I'll migrate the rest over the next week or so.
So, I'm switching from Gmail to Proton for now, but if Proton starts to get worse or Tuta catches up on functionality or there's a better provider that emerges or I decide to try to self-host, it's one easy change at the alias provider to redirect all of my mail to a new email provider.
You should try migadu. Thats the most no-bs provider with custom Domains I could find
Just recently discovered Migadu and it's all I ever wanted!
Thanks. Since I'm just starting my privacy journey, I'm sticking with the mainstream options for now, but using an aliasing service will make it easy easy for me to switch in the future. I'll check it Migadu and I appreciate the suggestion.
