It won&#8217;t necessarily be easy for everyone to decouple themselves from Google&#8217;s services but some rivals are offering offramps. DuckDuckGo, for instance, said it saw &#8220;a sustained surge&#8221; of installs after Google announced its Search overhaul. Proton, meanwhile, is looking to help folks transition away from Gmail.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It was already possible to check your Gmail inbox from within Proton Mail using the Easy Switch tool (which supports email importing from other third-party providers too). You can now send emails from your Gmail address within Proton&#8217;s service as well.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Proton hopes you&#8217;ll gradually update logins for important services to use a Proton Mail address instead of a Gmail one and then delete your Google account. You might not be ready to give up a Gmail address you&#8217;ve been using for many years just yet. In the meantime, Proton suggests that managing your emails through its service offers much more privacy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It said that, should you make the switch, &#8220;Google will no longer be able to use your email activity, such as which emails you read and engage with, to build a profile about you. When your friends and family use Proton Mail too, messages exchanged between Gmail addresses connected to Proton become end-to-end encrypted, so Google will not be able to read your data anymore.&#8221; Proton&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2182918\/proton-mail-aims-to-make-it-easier-for-you-to-transition-away-from-gmail-and-ditch-google\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proton Mail Aims To Make It Easier For You To Transition Away From Gmail And&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":257940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/img\/gallery\/proton-mail-aims-to-make-it-easier-for-you-to-transition-away-from-gmail-and-ditch-google\/l-intro-1779981934.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-257939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257939"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257939"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257941,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257939\/revisions\/257941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
