This is an wake-up call for everyone to migrate to other email service providers. Google only cares about invading our privacy, showing ads and making money. Thre's no reason to use products from a company like that.

Also a wake-up call to migrate to other internet browsers. Don't give Google the monopoly market share it needs to push the web whatever direction it wants; competition is healthy.

If there's fee I can pay to allow uBlock origin to keep working on Chrome, send me a link.

It would be nice to have an add-on in Google One to turn off the ads for a monthly price.

I believe Workspace is tracking-free? At least their privacy policy says they do not use Workspace data for advertising.

I wish Gmail's web app was FOSS. Only use it as an interface for External Accounts.

Those other services aren't free so this isn't anti-business... The opposite. With Google we're the product and it doesn't serve us as customers.

My wake-up call... calls were when they suddenly decided to distrust me, my password, my secret answer, and just disallow access to my mailbox for no reason. "You can't prove you are you, go away". A true goolag.
