I am glad I am using proton. I never give my real email to any website and create an alias for every website. That way, when I ever receive a spam email, I know exactly which company sold my data and I can turn that alias off permanently.

do you use "email+alias@proton" style aliases (afaik how gmail does it) or do you get an entirely new email address?

I use proton pass and it generates an alias with a prefix you give it, which helps to recognize what email it is, so this format: .@passmail.net

So an example could be [email protected]
