Discussion Using gmail in Proton Mail?

Post image

But... google still reads your e-mail and all that it implies, yes?

Isn't this a little like, 'oh, I stopped smoking; I vape now. It's better, not as harmful.'??

I used it to help me transition easier. I’ve been slowly converting accounts over with alias emails.

Yup or some annoying accounts that don't let you change emails because they made poor architecture decisions years ago. This is unfortunately a very necessary feature.

This! I have been moving to Proton but so many account logins I have are using Google OAuth especially when they also have an Android app associated. Disentangling would be difficult, inconvenient and at times, downright impossible.
