PSA: Google services are not end-to-end encrypted. Google can read your private data without your knowledge and state actors can coerce them to do so. I’m moving off. So should you.

Some services are, most are not..Android Backups are for example. Apple iCloud has more e2e.
Good clarification. Yes, it’s not very clear which Google services are or aren’t without deeper investigation. Apple iCloud has more end-to-end encryption and has a better track record, but it’s now in question with the UK government secretly compelling Apple to disable it for their residents.

Oh. I did not realize that... It's going to take a lot of hard work and a lot time, but I'm going to start moving away too
I’ve been following this guide:
Hopefully no one thought their Gmail (or any Google service) was private. #GetOffGoogle
Yes, I feel good I bit the bullet on this and it took like 4 months of work
I have wanted to get rid of gmail for a while now, so I got a hushmail account. I keep running into businesses that will not accept a hushmail email address as a valid username. Have you run into this with proton mail?
I haven’t used Hushmail, so I can’t comment on your situation. For Proton Mail, I pay for a custom email domain but I use SimpleLogin to proxy emails through an email alias so that my real email address doesn’t leak as easily, and I can identify the source of the leak if it does happen (and easily cut it off). Most web services have no issue with the simplelogin.com alias, but there’s a small number that do denylist the domain, so I need to use some other email address instead (either a throwaway or a dedicated address from my real domain). If you use the free Proton email domain, I doubt anyone would block it — it’s too widely used and trusted.
I'm sure most people here know this about google but here's a nudge if you're still using google services. Graphene OS on mobile is better than stock android. Protonmail is better than gmail. Getting off gmail is the biggest hurdle for most but completely worth it.
