I use a proxy service (VPN) and gstatic.com blocks my requests. This breaks reCAPTCHA which defeats its entire purpose. It also breaks every site that uses Firebase. About 50% of sites load their fonts from Google and they appear with all text invisible and finally appear after about 3 seconds. A few sites, even government sites, refuse to display any content at all until they load their JavaScript from Google. Browsing from this Google-blocked VPN has been an eye-opening experience. Google tech is pervasive and makes the web hostile for everyone practicing online hygiene. When Google first blocked my proxy, suddenly search in Gmail and Drive stopped working. This was my paid Google business account. I tried to contact Google Support but found I couldn't log in. I carefully wrote down a Google Support PIN several years ago. When I tried to call Google Support, the PIN didn't work. Apparently, Google Support PINs expire after an hour. So I learned that Google provides zero support for login problems, even for paid accounts. That's a massive risk. I switched my business accounts to Zoho. It took about 4 hours to sign up and move over my domain + email + docs + spreadsheets + drive. I've been using Zoho for about 3 weeks now and it's fine. Zoho Email search is good. They let people create support tickets without logging in. And humans respond to the tickets within hours.
