Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF? - eviltoast

Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

    Kind of. It’s called tagged addressing or subaddressing, and the fact that you can do that with both services is where the similarities end. With Gmail, it’s just another address that goes to your inbox. With Port87, whatever you put after the dash or plus sign is the label it goes to in your account. That way, it’s automatically organized for you. And you can make a label screen senders before their email is delivered. That way, a label that’s meant for people, like “yourname-friends@port87.com” will only get emails from real people.
