But that's a situation of making your bed and then sleeping in it.Īnd in the case of Chrome, we are already in a situation in which Google can crush its competition and impose whatever standard they want.

This is why even an upgrade to GSuite is better, being governed by a different ToC. Filling a complaint for me is easy and I've had great results in the past. I'm in the EU and in my country there are state agencies that protect the consumer and handle the suing. First of all lawful companies don't do anything that isn't in the terms of service, that being the legal contract that describes your relationship with the company. I am not affiliated with Fastmail in any way, shape or form – just a very happy customer. I made myself some coffee and then service was back again. In the past two or so years that I've had my account I have only experienced downtime once, for a few minutes. Fastmail does what it says on the tin – it's very fast. I don't regret the move one bit, and the whole process of setting up my account and moving all ten or so years worth of email from gmail to Fastmail was over and done within a week. Probably useless paranoia, but it floats my boat. Not my personal one, but an alias I'll set up in a minute, so that I can shut that down eventually too. I'm going to stop forwarding now, and set up an auto-reply to give people a new address. I swiftly replied with my new address of course. Off the top of my head I can only recall a single one, at least from a person I know and wanted to receive email from. This reminds me to actually check how many emails I received over the past year that came via gmail. I still have gmail forwarding set up to my new email address, but I haven't logged into the account for well over two years at this point. Moving from gmail to fastmail, given their integrated migration process, was a complete breeze.

I use a custom domain, so total cost is a bit higher, probably something like $60-$70/year, not sure. Man, I pay $50/year for my Fastmail account.
