I was typing a long, long reply too but I just realized I wouldn't even use my own suggestions because I don't trust Google anymore, specially to do the right thing in the long run.

Email is already fucked. In my experience Gmail often failed to receive emails from services like Yandex and Zoho. Plenty of people here that setup their own servers, and know what they are doing, getting randomly blacklisted. Maybe it&#x27

Like I said you can de-anonymize data. I wouldn't know since I'm not a security researcher and haven't tried to analyze Windows traffic with external hardware. It's like asking if nobody would have find out about Spectre

With all that's going on with the world (especially the last decade) a lot of people, like me, feels that having telemetry at the OS level is going too far. And think again about data being anonymized when they have so much of it (e.g.

I register all my accounts using Gmail because I feel DNS/domain security is a joke (this was debated here in the past but I don't have the technical knowledge to explain it any better). I'm saying that because IMO using your

I wish that was enough. The articles that show up here on HN from time to time make me think they can cross-reference data and fingerprint you through many data sources and more advanced tracking (things that we discover from time to time l

Too bad the new model to not review and approve extensions made me stop installing and experimenting with them (except uBlock and a couple more). Same BS as Chrome but what can you do. My browser is very boring now.

You could use something that is not e-mail. From uploading the images to a shared/cloud folder and/or a messenging protocol to notify you.
