Just for mail isn't it better to not use browser but an email client via SMTP/IMAP:

I haven't used Gmail for any serious email except when there's been no reasonable alternative. (Case in point: I was on the committee for a local charity event and the organizer had taken apparently large gulps of the Google Kool-Aid to the point where the event documents were all on Google Docs/Drive.) It is worth the extra $20 or so per year to not have Google be able to cross-reference my search history with my email, and better still to be free of Google's stupid irrelevant or sometimes overly relevant ads in my email. It's bad enough when I browse a site and immediately see both Google ads when I browse elsewhere, and then Facebook ads for it when I check in there. -- Shawn K. Quinn skquinn@rushpost.com
