Huh I never thought about this. This is something I'll have to do some research on, thanks.

Thank you! I'll check this one out! Any troubles with your custom domain being flagged or going into recipient's spam folders?
I agree, I haven't felt like there's any reason for these accounts to flag me.
I've seen Mailbox be floated around, I'll definitely give it a look. Thank you
Besides their controversies and responses I'm not really a huge fan of their shift to a large suite. Its feeling very google adjacent and I don't want to put my eggs all in one basket again. While they're really convenient and easy to use, I just think they're not for me and my needs anymore.
They offer a very convenient suite, so if you feel it works for you, no judgment here. The response you linked is kinda nice to take accountability for supporting (in a way) a controversial creator. Unfortunately it's not enough for me. They openly support Trump (which I understand is a personal preference) and I was starting to get uncomfortable with how much their suite began to feel a lot like google. I dont really want to put all of my eggs in one basket again, y'know?
Oh yea honestly for a bit there I was pretty happy to be using a more privacy-friendly suite. But after a while it just kind of started feeling a bit too familiar to our "do no evil"-removing google and I got uncomfortable.
Totally, not every country's "right-wing" is the same. But unfortunately they have been very open about their support for Trump and many other questionable people. I feel like their interests greatly contradict their model for privacy. It's a lil spooky.
I believe in this sub there is another post showing Proton's official response to their latest controversy which has ultimately led to my decision.
But I will miss the convenience of their suite. I do view their products as pretty solid.
Ive been really considering Tuta as my next choice. Do you find it difficult or easy to use for your accounts like bills/finance/important?
Interesting, never heard of hat before, I'll check it out
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into this
Thats what I was thinking too. I was considering opening a ticket with my bank but trying to do that with sites like Paypal and my phone company are extra hassles since their customer services feel non-existant.
Its more of a personal thing. Theyre fine. I started to not like that they've become a, I'm not sure of the right term, but a google-like hub where I store all my info. (Email, drive, VPN, meets, etc.). Plus I dont want to support a company that aligns themselves with far-right ideologies. So it is a personal thing, but they work well enough.

And that is all completely fine for you to choose for yourself. Would be nice to see a mass migration away from google to proton over all of the blind support google gets.
