So one thing I've started getting worried about is whether youtube/google will eventually block/delete youtube/google accounts who use adblockers.
I don't really care about my youtube account but I have several gmail accounts and losing those would be awful.
I assume they won't ever go that far, but just the possibility is scary.
So is there an easy way to migrate all your stuff to some other email service and what are some good ones?
I mean there are a myriad of ways to avoid this:
So you can set up a free Proton Mail account and then connect it to your Google account and it will begin archiving all of your emails, past and future. It also has a way better web client than Gmail (not saying much).
I know this is because Google indexes your mail but search is far superior on Gmail to Proton. I've downloaded the indexes from Proton on my home PC but search is still not good for searching email content.
Proton indexes your mail also now and I've had the exact opposite experience. Gmail and G Workspace in general is a fucking shitshow to find absolutely anything.
