Using webmail can be avoided, but agreed on the rest.
PS: It gets worse when you use a script blocker and have to figure out which scripts are needed per website.
That jumped out to me as well. Even using something like Thunderbird with GMail (even though you really should try moving somewhere that respects your privacy) has such a better feel to it.
Yes, exactly. I'm still in that intermediate position myself. I'm using Thunderbird and K9-Mail as clients for my Hotmail Account (Microsoft).
It's seems like so much work to move away from the email account I signed up for some 20 years ago, so I've still shied away from doing it so far. At least I started using a password manager a few years ago, so by now I have a list of services, that would require updating.
Congrats on taking the first step!
