Change to protonmail and move away from google altogether.

I’m slowly beginning the process of moving to Proton Mail. Staying with the free account for now, but really want to get away from Gmail.

Or maybe choose something that isn't such a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Which are you claiming to be the wolf? It was just a little bit ambiguous for me.

Proton Mail is not a service that can be trusted and it is fairly expensive

Why can't it be trusted? Can any service be trusted? I'm not going to host my own email service. 💀

They promote proprietary software in the form of JavaScript and they claim encryption and 100% privacy for a protocol that isn't secure or designed to be secure.

What does this claim look like? I mean, I'll bite if all they claim is that they offer 100 % privacy from their end, so they don't do anything with my data. That's good enough for me.

And promoting proprietary software in the form of JavaScript, is that an inherently bad thing apart from being proprietary?

Just curious because you seem rather emphatic about this so I'd like to know more about your thoughts, since I am a potential customer.
