Claws-mail on linux fixes this :-)

i hate email clients but you're probably right

with claws-mail, there's no js, html, css, etc, so it's basically just text. Fewer security risks.

Google services are vampiric garbage

p'O'r/\/ sitE data & cO;.;Ok i. e. etc.

ProtonMail open for all eternity is 220 to compare. I'm sure Google is using that extra 800 for his interests and not theirs. /s

The real shocker for me was my ocean dashboard page was 2gb for some reason. It dropped to 75 after a refresh.

poor memory management in client-side code.

probably vibe-coded it, lol.

Lmao, avoiding these kinds of memory hogs is not that hard just basic software engineering. These fuckers have a bunch of top tier engineers and are delivering this crap? Unbelievable.

Yeah wtf they are using all that memory for? Emails are plain text ffs

every Google "site" is an enormously complex web application, often with extensive offline capabilities. I think Gmail still works to some degree if you're offline.

Spyware

Yes, unfortunately I have to use it for work
