I'm frequently reminding people that Google is not an email provider nor a search engine nor really anything else it pretends to be, but that it's a data harvesting and ad company.

Thankfully I've been becoming less reliant on my gmail inbox. But also, it appears my various efforts for blocking malicious content may be blocking these ads because I don't see them on my home network.

What are you relying on in place of Gmail? It's never been the email service itself I've liked, it's the web app and Android app, I use the External Accounts feature to drag in all email accounts into one place.

I have my own domain attached to icloud mail at the moment. But primarily, I have my own domain and can move it to wherever I need it. Icloud mail isn't the best thing in the world, still, but it's more cost efficient than trying to run it on a personal O365 or some other service for now. I don't really have need for the enhanced security/privacy of some of the other providers available, at least for now, but having my own domain means migrating to them later, should I need it, shouldn't be difficult.

I will note the icloud mail web interface is utter garbage.
