I created a proton email out of curiosity and now can’t help but wonder if it’s really worth it. How do you use it?

For me it would mean having:

  1. University email
  2. Outlook for my PC cause I don’t want PC and phone stuff to mix up
  3. Gmail (for my google account) on the phone (PlayStore, Maps, google chrome…)
  4. Proton mail

But how do you use it? Let’s say I use it on Lemmy… But I’m still using Google Chrome for Lemmy Even if I avoided Gmail by using the proton email to create my google account, I’m still using Google services bc of apps and PlayStore, how does this work?

If I don’t use personal email for much unless these google/Microsoft related stuff, does it still make sense having one and keeping it separate from anything else?

      You can use universal android debloater to remove not only bloat but core google services as well, including google play services amd play store. Then solely rely on f-droid, obtainium etc.

      You will have to use the advanced settings of UAD, amd you might have to do some tries, because removing anything important will make you reset your device.

        The thing is I need some apps and I don’t know if I’d be able to download them in other ways
