The females use she/it pronouns.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don’t think mosquitos have the concept of language.

They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they’re big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they’ve chosen to sell doesn’t affect them financially.

DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won’t skip sponsored segments though, you’ll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they’ve decided to shill.

I don’t want to be a downer, but realistically considering the impact of this Canada is probably going to have to acquiesce at least temporarily.

Trump is applying cold, calculating business logic to this; Canada needs to do business with the US to a large degree, if that becomes costly their (relatively) small economy becomes less viable without reform which they don’t have time to implement.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% behind Canada in fighting this but realistically it’s not a fight they’re going to win.

I’m not the person you were asking, but I recently tried tried Tuta with my own domain and decided to look elsewhere due to a few things;

• No way to import mail, despite it being announced as “worked on” back in 2022. This is a fairly huge blocker IMO.
• Email rules don’t seem to apply until you view (and I assume decrypt) your mailbox. This led to some annoying behaviour like push notifications for emails that should have had rules applied to them.
• Spam filtering is all over the place - it’s overzealous and filters legitimate emails, and at the same time it lets in plenty of actual spam.
• The mobile apps are odd - you get realtime push notifications, but when you open the app and view your mailbox, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to show the email it just notified you about (even if you tap the notification).
• Their history of outages and instability are a big cause for concern IMO. Email is a crucial service, so uptime, deliverability, and data integrity are paramount.

For routine/non-sensitive email, they feel like too much hassle for the average punter in my opinion. And if I put on my industry hat; their frequent downtime is a huge red flag, and a sign that they either don’t know what they’re doing or don’t have enough cash to operate properly.

Having said that, I still think they’re the best current option if privacy/encryption is your only concern - to the best of my knowledge no one else takes that quite as seriously as they do.
