Gmail tracks the history of things you buy, and it’s hard to delete

I'd be happy to switch away from https://domains.google but I'm loving the free, full Whois privacy protection. According to Gandi's Whois Privacy¹: "excluding your state, country, ... and the name of the company..." from the Whois privacy feature. I need full Whois privacy.

Do you have any other registrar suggestions?

Namecheap recently started offering free whois privacy, I'm not sure 100% certain if it's full however. I believe it is

I have it! It sets the country to Panama and a generated e-mail which I guess just redirects stuff to my real address? I haven't bothered to check that. It's using whoisguard.com for the garbled email.

The domain is "thelittleshits.net" (I'm absolutely serious, I needed a domain for testing a deployment and couldn't come up with anything)

I admit I don't really pay much attention to my whois privacy outside of my name and direct contact details. I don't have issue with my country being listed for example so I don't have any other suggestions for you sorry.

I switched to AWS Route 53. At least for .com addresses it’s $3 more than google domains but gets (I believe) full Whois privacy.

Not all TLDs allow that anyway.

Cloudflare has full Whois and at-cost domains with their registrar.

Cloudflare is still to open up its registration service for new domain registrations. It allows (and has allowed) only transferring domains from another registrar since it launched nearly eight months ago. New registrations elsewhere also have a lock-in period before they can be transferred (usually 90 days I guess).
