It's time to switch for privacy's sake
I tested 5 secure email providers (THIS is the best Gmail alternative)
Over the last decade or so, it has become common for most users with an online presence to have a free Gmail or Yahoo email address. These users are also often satisfied with the features and functionality they get with these services, making them feel no need for a more secure email provider.
Many users feel that more security is not necessary for their needs, as they have little to nothing to hide from prying eyes. These same users are also unaware that companies like Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook sell your email data to government agencies or whoever the highest bidder is.
When you sign up for a new Gmail account, you give Google permission to scan your emails for keywords. These keywords are then analyzed and the results are used to target you with product personalization.
