I am all for people taking appropriate steps to improve privacy. For friends and family who like gmail and Google in general, I recommend going into settings and disallow the data collection that is configurable. I use gmail in addition to ProtonMail and Apple mail. I request that the only history Google keeps on me is 3 months of my YouTube viewing so I can get recommendations. I also try to get people to make using private browser tabs the default. For myself, I feel like I walk a thin line between privacy and getting things done easily.
