What do you use for email?

Buy a domain, then you don’t lose your address if you ever decide to jump to a different provider. I use fastmail currently. But I also keep my own backups.

It's basically impossible to not use gmail. Even if you don't have a gmail account or address yourself, the person you're emailing probably has it, so your messages gets sent to a gmail server and gets scanned by them. What I want to know is whether Google uses the contents to profile YOU.

Get your own domain, then you're free to change provider every 2 months and nobody will realise :-).

Then you can try Migadu, Fastmail, Protonmail, Tuta, ... once you own your address (say [email protected]), people won't ever know what provider you are running behind.

Purelymail. Really cheap, just works and doesn’t get in my way.

Runbox with my own domain (which I've had since 1999). Support is great, prices are reasonable.

I'm using Proton. Never had an issue with them.
