The worst part, is even when you try to avoid, you cant.

You send an email from proton, to mostly gmail account, now they have your email.

You mean your business, the guy next to you talk to google home, and you get recorded.

Every time I 'm forced to use a google account by some 3rd party, I get a panic attack from how predatory it is to get you to give them your data, you cant log out without 4 clic, it is a true dystopia we let that compagny rule our world

I envy your patience if it is just a little annoying for you. I could send 2 mail before deleting the account I had just planned to be my new main email account

ProtonMail had a non removable signature ad at the end of every mail you write (could be a deal breaker), last time I checked.

Good luck trying to have her abandon Google anyway
