Must delete Google.

I am nearly ready to delete my Google Account. The 1 thing taking forever is changing my e-mail address on all my many accounts.

Goodbye, Google.

I have DELETED my Google Account and am now Google free. Using both Next DNS and Port Master, I am also activity blocking Google, both on the DNS level and locally.

@Linux I’m really impressed. Thinking of how I’d leave the eco system and it feels daunting, especially the docs and Gmail aspect .

@dan_lerch

It is easier than you think. The hard part was changing (updating) my e-mail with all my many accounts (I used Tuta for e-mail). That took some time. Finding replacement apps was also a lot easier than I thought it would be.

@Linux @dan_lerch Ouch, I still remember that pain. Reason why it took me about 4 months even if I didn't have important data in account. And some services required contact with customer support to do it.

@Linux Which email service(s) can you recommend, that don't result in messages finding their way into spam, because they don't have secret 'trust only gmail' flag?

@marquisdegeek @Linux I’ve been referring people over to @fastmail. Good service, works great.
