I find it odd how so many tech involved people here use gmail - are privacy concerns not a concern for them?
I moved to mailbox.org years ago. Pay a few pounds a year for private email with webtools and drive and don't have google snooping my emails and sending me targeted ads.
Convenience. Also I don't really communicate private stuff over gmail, I have signal for that.
I did the same except switched to fastmail. I love it, it’s such a great service.
Gmail stopped using email contents for ad targeting in 2017.
