It takes a little bit of effort but it’s a great time to do the following:
In a couple months you’ll eventually stop receiving emails to your gmail as you work through the accounts you use, and most incoming mail will all be through aliases. Then if you get spammed, you know what site leaked your email + you can turn off the alias and not get spam.
Wait wait! You're saying proton lets you use aliases? As many as I'd like?
I guess Gmail does too, if you do the ole [email protected]. But not all websites allow the +
Proton integrates directly with simplelogin. But you can use gmail for aliases with anonaddy or simplelogin, they just forward the alias emails to your real inbox.
