3·8 months agoI have found that it often takes a very long time for Tor to build a circuit (bootstrap) using obfs4, because of what seems to be difficulty finding bridges.
Can’t close your account or request deletion of your data, either. Same thing happened to me.

General advice from EFF. A bit dated, but much of what I would have advised is here.
Not sure if you realize how derogatory this comes across.
If you’re using Gmail, and you’re considering alternatives for privacy reasons, then 100% without a doubt, objectively and unequivocably, Proton is the better choice of the two.
There are other email providers with privacy assurances, and yes, you can self-host, but don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.
To address the trustworthiness of Proton directly: I’ve been a Proton user for about 10 years. It gets the job done. I have complaints, but privacy is not among them.
I have been using this as my daily driver on my Android phone for the past year or so because there is no LibreWolf for Android. No complaints.
