Google used to be an awesome company.

They have turned into absolute garbage, something I never thought possible.

I'm locked into Gmail, that's too big of a pain in the ass to switch, but everything else I try to avoid like the plague. From shitty hardware, to abandoned software to adinfested garbage, everything they are making right now is straight dogshit.

Google search has become some real garbage lately too. I can't search for anything without getting a full page of generic useless crap that was either written by AI or an incompetent author.

Isn't this a lab toggle?

Create a new email, forward all mails from gmail to this new email, start using the new email?

Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. I feel like we had all these things >10 years ago. It really feels like once they realized google+ wasn't going to win over facebook, they were done.

Proton Mail makes it pretty easy to switch from Gmail with its Easy Switch feature
