Good points! We’re actually in agreement on all of these things, my opinion about email was not including a desktop app as browser viewing for me has been just fine (remember I have multiple email accounts so each account gets relatively low traffic on a per account basis)
The custom domain thing seems handy but how often are you really changing emails if you have multiple to begin with too, either or works I’m just biased toward my own habits lol
You're doing it when protonmail goes out of business suddenly, or changes their privacy rules, or decides they want to raise prices and you don't want to pay. You can never really predict these things, and having a cheap (domain names can be like $15 a year) option is great.
That’s a fair point.
Idk I think I’m to the point these days where if I were to lose access to a side account I had locked down that heavily it wouldn’t be with anything majorly important of my life and I’d just start that persona/online activities again with a new one
