Do you know what is Gmail? Well, you must live under a rock if you wouldn’t. In fact it’s so familiar when we talk about emails, that some people may think it’s the only existing email provider. But why is that?

First, Google offers many other services you can use with gmail: Youtube, google drive, docs, sheets and etc.

Second: New search feature and 1gb of data storage in 2004 was revolutionary at that time.

These are the main reasons Gmail is the most popular email provider in the market and yahoo mail is quietly disappearing in this huge Gmail’s shadow. I mean, who even uses yahoo in 2022? I bet you couldn’t name a single person using it.

It feels so strange answering in a question “What’s your email adress?” if you do not use Gmail. Tutanota? what’s that? You wouldn’t start to explain that it’s privacy and security focused email and etc. And that’s why Gmail is and will be that popular. Because everyone is using it now. Why use something that no one ever heard about?

Gmail is not private. Google can read your emails and if there is a breach on Google servers, your emails are at risk.

Luckily, there are some secure and private alternatives:

• Proton Mail

• Tutanota

All these protect your emails with zero knowlegde encryption, so only you can read them. Both providers have decent free plan. You can expand features by paying for paid plan.
