A community for those that would like to get away from Google.
Here you may post anything related to DeGoogling, why we should do it or good software alternatives!
Be respectful even in disagreement
No advertising unless it is very relevent and justified. Do not do this excessively.
No low value posts / memes. We or you need to learn, or discuss something.

I just checked my Gmail. I did not see a single ad in my inbox. Stop lying OP
OP is an idiot. From reading other replies, ads are only for people using inbox tabs/groups, and then only in the promotions tab.
I don't use tabs, so I don't get ads. If you don't go into your promotions tab, for example, in your primary tab, you won't get those ads either.
Depends on the country I think. Which country are you from ?
That's not how that works. Products that big don't have features (or “features”) rolled out universally. They do things per county, per demographic, or to random groups first, to have data on how it affects usage.
Only if they're happy with the results (or management overrides the rational decision process) they'll introduce things globally.
