I'm trying to slowly de-google, but not in an unrealistic way. I'm still using an Android phone and I'm subscribed to YT Premium for my family, but I'm migrating critical things such as email and accounts I've registered using that email.
I can't believe the amount of accounts I've accumulated over time. It's such a pain to move, especially when the site or app doesn't have a self-service feature for changing emails.
I'm slowly weaning myself off Chrome with their current push for what's essentially DRM for websites. It really feels like the season for reconsidering how we interact online.
I agree. Google has really come a long way from "Don't be evil".
I maintain a domain for my personal usage. With domain, I can easily jump from one email service to another. Currently, naka-MS Outlook ako, because... lulz.
Yeah, I considered doing that before deciding to just use email aliases. Pretty satisfied with my decision so far but in case I reconsider, which domain registrar would you recommend?
I have my domain at Namecheap. They have free email forwarding up to 100 aliases.
+1 for Namecheap. Been using them for more than a decade now. Reliable and (as their name says) cheap.
