• I’m reinstalling windows on my PC and already reset my phone.
  • I deleted my old Gmail account and profiles on my most used apps, which I want to recreate anew.
  • I switched to Proton but obviously need a google account to use those apps again on my phone (movies and books trackers mostly).

1st QUESTION: if I create a google account with my proton mail, is it worth switching to it at all? Would it still be better than using Gmail?

  • I had created two Microsoft accounts on my computer: personal and school. Worried about privacy I decided to reinstall windows.
  • for the same reason I was gonna use a 2nd mail (probably Gmail) for the laptop but have doubts…

2nd QUESTION: if I don’t add a school account this time but only use my university email to access the apps and that’s It, can I be sure enough and use my personal mail on the laptop as well, for other stuff? My idea was to completely avoid using the proton mail on the laptop. Or can I use it safely? It would be easier with things like Tweek (calendar and to-do) which I would use on both devices… With 2 mails I can’t

Hope I didn’t make any confusion and thank you if you’ll be patient enough to help!

ANY advice or suggestion is welcome!

          I really like Firefox Relay. I think they have a paid version, but the free version allows 5 different emails masks, and you can set masks to either forward emails, or to just block them. I find this latter function useful for things that make you put in your email address to get past a wall (which doesn’t necessarily involve signing up).
