With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

the phone functionality looks useful, though most of the email stuff is covered by using the + convention

your.email+trash@gmail.com -> this kinda doesn't make it anonymous but it either goes directly to trash or you can easily set up a filter in gmail so that emails sent to this address are automatically trashed

    Yeah the key thing for me was anonymity. Plus I think most spammers know about the + feature now and will get around it. Currently degoogling my life by switching everything over to relay and having it forward to my Proton mail. Never had such a clean inbox before and it's amazing.

    Gotta use the uno reverse card. Sign up for everything using +spam and filter out everything that isn't addressed directly to that. Legit communications won't strip out the +'s or .'s, spammers will.
