That's quite "all or nothing" :)

I tend to adjust my level of (perceived) protection depending on the 
sensitivity of the information, e.g. I don't have a problem posting from 
a Gmail account to a public mailing list, on the other hand my bank 
statements go to a ProtonMail account (which I do trust a lot more than 
Gmail, regardless of what other companies in the same country did).


Kind regards,
Andrei
