Been trying to get away from DuckDuckGo because of their support of “AI” stuff, but come on, one of these isn’t even in English, and that’s what I have my language set to.

    I might be a bit out of the loop, what about proton? I know they have their own AI chatbot, but did I miss anything else about them? AFAIK they are nowhere near Brave in terms of being utter garbage.

        Thanks for the reply and source! I am not a fan of this, but not quite convinced to switch yet. May I ask what you switched to or what alternative email providers you could recommend? From my not very in-depth research, self-hosting an email server seems to be quite a nightmare.

          I’ve been using Startmail recently. I really like that it lets you create multiple different permanent ‘aliases’ and can even create temporary aliases

          I was weary of self-hosting email myself too, didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole. After some searching, I’ve landed on migadu.com. I just renewed the subscription after the first year, was 19$ a year for the micro plan, which is more than enough for my needs. Not sure why they use dollars though, as they are a Swiss company.

          So far no problems, have ~10 of my domains hooked up for email.

          The only downside I can spot is it’s bring-your-own-domain, so take that into account.

            Appreciate the suggestion, I will look into it. I don’t have my own domain yet, but I guess it is about time…
