  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

    Why do you need to migrate 20 years of data? Do you actually look at anything more than a month or two old?

    That said, Protonmail has “Easy Switch” to copy emails and whatnot.

    The harder part for me is Drive, since there just isn’t a competitor that’s anywhere near as good in terms of overall experience. I’m going to try out OnlyOffice, but I know there are a few features I just won’t have anymore.

      I do occasionally need something from 10 or even 15 years ago, needing the exact date I sold a property or started a new project or even just jogging my memory of an old contact I am reaching again. While none of this is strictly necessary, I could make do without it if I had to, it does create inertia.

      I really need to check out Proton, Google is just getting worse and worse and the sooner I can get away from their ecosystem the better.
