   Great user interface, and ease of use. Not sure about the privacy though.

   Very happy with its offers, it has a full suite of tools. Also the user experience is great. I am not sure about the privacy though. I am not confident enough to use it for sending and receiving confidential documents.

   🏁 Competitors: Mailfence, ProtonMail

   👍 Pros:    Huge storage space|Mobile app|Easy to use|Organisation

   👎 Cons:    Security|Privacy|Data protection and security

   Not good mail in terms of privacy and security

   I used to use Gmail until 4 months ago. I was really happy with this mail, it is easy to handle and, being a Google member, there are many tools available to use. However, I started to learn about the security and privacy offered by Google, which is NONE. We are selling our information and personal data to a technological giant and, many times, we are not even aware of it.

   This is why I deleted all but one of my Google-related accounts. As most people are still not aware of this, when working or contacting certain people for the first time, it is essential to do it through Gmail.

   Today, there are a few alternatives to solve this lack of privacy. After doing an intensive search and reading comments, I decided to get an account with Mailfence and, honestly, I'm very happy with their service. It's an easy to use email, with end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, calendar, document saving capabilities, ... I really recommend it for all those who are starting in the world of privacy and security. The best thing is that you can create a free account and, if you are happy with the service or need more storage space, you can switch to a paid account.

   I hope my opinion helps everyone, especially those who are thinking about whether it is really worth giving all our information in exchange for a free email.

  There are tons of ways to fingerprint users that go far beyond IP addresses. Panopticlick is a tool by the Electronic Frontier Foundation that can show you what tracking data you’re unconsciously sharing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Duckduckgo is pushing their extension, apparently it "blocks trackers". Isn't Firefox doing this already? If so, what benefit does DDG give? If not, what are DDG playing at?

  If you go to panopticlick.eff.org and run the tests, it is very likely that it'll say you have strong protection against trackers and ads but not against fingerprinting. In my experience thus far, even Firefox hasn't managed to beat it, only Brave. Source: over 1 year ago

• How on earth is my cousin receiving adverts for things i have been googling?

  They can identity individual bits of equipment through things like browser fingerprinting, things like checking the list of fonts on your system. Have a look at http://panopticlick.eff.org/. Source: over 2 years ago
