I've been manually going through everything, including merging credentials going back two decades across 2-3 browsers finally to a single password manager, and... geez, there's literal months' worth of reviewing to do if you added up all the time if it was nonstop.

I'm just curious about how others' experiences have been, for those who shifted towards a more anti-megacorp stance later on.

I have never created an account with Google other than for an occasional use-once throwaway email. I stopped that once they started requiring a mobile phone number.

Dang, nice. Who is your email with?

A commercial provider. I'd rather keep it private; sorry.

No prob! I've seen Rocket Mail, Zoho, and Tuta thrown around as of late, and was just curious about others in the ring.

I don't think I've heard of that one, thanks!
