Enhanced Safe Browsing was released in 2007 as an upgrade to Google’s standard Safe Browsing feature that warns users when they visit known phishing and malware sites.
That’s gotta be a typo. Gmail itself came out in 2004, and I doubt that “Safe Browsing” and then “Enhanced Safe Browsing” both came out in the first three years.
I’m guessing it’s supposed to be 2017?
Regardless of when it came out, the nagging prompts sure are annoying.
I don't use Gmail, my wife don't use Gmail, I can't think of any friends that use Gmail. People in my circle don't see value in trading privacy for a "free" email account. I use fastmail, been very pleased.
Virtually every company public and private in the US use Gmail or Outlook. Interesting that your circle is using alternatives but you're still very much an outlier. Like to an extreme that's very surprising to hear. For personal use nearly 90%+ of global market share splits between Gmail and Apple with nearly 60% of email in the US being Gmail based and Apple holding most of the rest.
Every single person I know uses gmail here where I live. I’m the local IT guy here in my small village in the UK and I’ve not come across anyone NOT using gmail
But it’s not shit for them. It’s always works, never down, works fast, and reliably on the computers/laptops/phones etc. Most people could not give a monkies if they are tracking cookies. It’s easy to use so they have no reason to move away. Not everyone is a tech nerd who looks for other solutions which are normally more complex. They just want something that works, and that is why gmail/google is popular.
protonmail operates on a fremium service, you don’t have to pay. I highly recommend the paid options though… and if you happen to have a webdomain, they’ll manage an email server for you (which is a pain in the ass… and totally worth it. They do a good job.)
I mentioned in my comment that the prices were based off the cheapest “premium” plan. If I were to include freemium, tutanota, mailbox.org and others would also be free.
not trying to shill for them, but, the ‘support for custom domains’- if you have a domain already, you can use that instead of theirs. and because they manage it… it stay up to date etc. They’re far from the only people that provide that service, mind you.
I would like to use my domain for that, but was always wondering if I could do that while using my domain and other non mail subdomains on another server
For most cases that works fine, but it looks like the xpath uses generated identifiers, so any time they push a change to the Gmail UI the rule won’t match any more.
