Currently using Jerboa. Pretty solid experience for a pretty much bareboned app, fits material you pretty well

I get that you don't like the choices made for a platform you use.. But after all, she is still a human with a family and loved ones. I do get people's reason to dislike her, but on the other I find it distasteful to see how people cheer for this.

If you main issue is the need to download apps from the Play Store, consider Aurora Store.

No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app's permissions, as you mentioned.

[...] and as another user said they are ~~somewhat~~ sandboxed.

I was shocked to find out that the hardest part of the installation was finding a Chromium based browser on PC lol

All you have to do to install GrapheneOS is press one button in the WebUI. No other 'ROM' has been easier to install.

@PugJesus wya?

Why did everyone get so political lmao

Been using Proton for over 4 years now, and have had no issues with it. I don't use folders or tags that much, but if you are a paid member, you get unlimited of those. They recently announced calander invites (I personally never want to use them) and it looks like it should work fine. Proton also has unlimited aliases to hide your actual address, which I use all the time (coming over from SimpleLogin.)

The bundle (mail, VPN, calander, pass and drive) is really bang for the buck for what you get, even though you don't use some of them. You can always upgrade to it later if you wish. And in case you don't plan on paying, the free versions work just as you expect!

If you have any questions, just ask!

All big tech is. They got big for a reason. Though I find Mozilla much less of a thread than other corps like Google, Meta, Microsoft. Meta I find easy to block as none of their services are actually useful. Google is a tad bit harder, and Microshit creeps in on every spot and I don't like it.

I honestly don't mind when it's used properly

My Ameliorated Windows won't be affected >:)

SimpleLogin does allow you to send emails from your alias, though

I don't live in America or Brazil if that helps haha
