    You could also get a private E-Mail address that doesn’t scan all your mails to make money out of it. Google tries to enprison you in it’s ecosystem by “facilitating” logins and so on. If you don’t pay with money, you pay with your data.

    mailbox.org
    posteo.net

    Both are great alternatives for only a couple of bucks a month.

      Last year, I saw an article written by a recruiter about how recruiters are sort of biased against you if you use a non-GMail account because it “feels” like you’re on old tech and out of touch and, therefore, will be hard to place and, Void, did it make be so mad.

      Huge vote for mailbox.org. They have calendars, contract lists, online storage, etc. I’ve been able to get rid of Google/gmail almost entirely from my phone.

          I don’t know anything about mailbox.org, but I’m sure it’s way less sketchy than Google. It’s just interesting you would praise their free video conferences after posting “if you don’t pay with money, you pay with data.”

            Should have said ‘included’ rather than ‘free’ since it is a paid service
