Gmail (Google mail) on a slippery slope. I have used Gmail for many years without hesitation. Recently last year, I like many others with this public listed company had come to know of it's market manipulation and monopoly, unfair play. I don't like how they, or maybe their owners Google/Alphabet were forcing smartphone manufacturers to pre install Google as a manufactured customer "choice" on new handsets. I had read journalists writing about unfair market practices and it truly shocked me. I have reduced as much as I can, my reliance on Gmail and prefer outlook, or proton mail, both also Free. Other providers are also available. I removed the "ask Google" tab on my phone, as I believe Customers should be able to choose their search engine and email provider etc. I then received an email after their court hearing telling me how much space in my Google drive I had used up???! Why? This should not be a concern as it's nowhere near the limit, and especially as they had never wrote to me about this before! Suspicious. What a company hey! Skewed, manipulative, uncompetitive in the market, and a power house like Google, let me down. I don't enjoy using it's services, & have researched many an option elsewhere. For example; mail.com and outlook give free email usage with storage space for general use. Having worked myself in the UK for big white chip clients, listed on the FTSE, for several years, Google's reliance on bullying tactics drove me away from them. It's a shame isn't it, even reading this back to myself typing it, as I recall when they were getting going & all the hype around Americas silicon valley. ... The truth is, there are better and just as good alternatives elsewhere. I chose to avoid their dominance, Google just isn't for me. So cheer up; look at free ECOSIA and it's environmental work, &/or Proton mail, outlook, and many others to name a few. I think I'll give this one a pass.
