This guy can be pretty harsh at times, but he's clearly very knowledgeable..

However, not all providers have a recent review, and his priorities are skewed heavily to the "paranoid" side of the tech world. For example, he considers being able to mail cash to a provider a significant pro. The overwhelming majority of users aren't mailing cash to pay for their email.

Overall, it's good info that's worth sharing.

Great article. I was looking for a way to start degoogling myself. It seems Disroot and Riseup are their favoured services and Riseup requires an invite.

Any recommendations for mail apps (on android) to use with disroot?
