I’m trying to get rid of my Google dependency and one of those steps was moving over to Protonmail. Now in the past few days i have been picking up signals that even Protonmail is not as clean as it might be.
Does this really impact the privacy of how i use email and so is moving to Protonmail a step forward from Google, or is Protonmail just as bad?
If so, what could be alternatives?
edit:
Some of the alternatives being mentioned in the comments are:
Email:
VPN:

Huh?? Everything in that comment was speculative. I keep trying to figure out what specifically wrong Protonmail, and so far it’s all been nothingburgers. This is just a wall of speculative text. I don’t understand why it’s being treated like some knock-down evidence that Protonmail is bad.
