Curious for any input on this -
I want to finish migrating off the gmail I’ve had since 2004.
I’ve moved everything vital, utilities, banks, financial services, doctors, vets, etc, to proton.
But what about spammy or untrusted services, or general e-commerce? Think sweetwater, etsy, newegg, etc.
I could create an alias in proton, but I really like being able to have notifications on for the proton mail app; if someone emails me there it actually matters.
So, I don’t want to lose access to these services, and I don’t want to give them an email that matters. Do I need another provider? Is there a better solution?

ProtonPass has mail aliases that work together with Proton Mail. I think they bought SimpleLogin some time ago. It could be a paid feature thought.
SimpleLogin gives you a handful of randomized aliases, while other services like AnonAddy and DuckDuckGo and Ironvest give you an unlimited amount for free.
When it comes to limiting addresses for free accounts, it’s pretty much just Proton and Mozilla that do it AFAIK.
