I am with you except the Protonmail part. It is better than gmail and others, but email absolutely sucks for privacy.
Discussion
Fair point though I feel email is at some stage always going to be required and I rather not go for one thatās a part of the eyes.
What do you prefer?
Protonmail but I make every attempt to limit what is exposed on email.
You're right though in that eventually you need email. There is no way around it.
