Over the past eight years, I have been transitioning away from all Google products and services, a change that occurred ever since I began to prioritize privacy and express concerns about mass data collection for the purpose of advertising sales.

This is a small post about which alternatives I use.

Email (bye bye Gmail)

https://www.fastmail.com

This one was the toughest but one of the most rewarding. I have been a very happy paying customer of Fastmail with a custom domain (you can see my example contact mail in my homepage).
