Just exported 20 years of Gmail and imported to Proton Mail - then deleted it all in Gmail.

Quite soon, Google will no longer know who I am.

My Choice for a Gmail alternative? @ProtonMail - Been using a paid account for over 2 years and it's great. Good customer service also!

I moved to @ProtonMail 2 years ago and never looked back. The feeling of freedom you get when you know you are not being tracked is uplifting.

I'm a big fan of @ProtonMail! They kept the light on for small tech, independent mail service providers while nobody else seemed to give a damn.

You get what you pay for. In the case of big tech, if you pay nothing, you get used. I quit using Gmail and switched to @ProtonMail
