They have several apps on F-Droid, which is usually a good sign . . .

EDIT: But try to sign up and they want your name, address, and phone number. Forget it!

Google 20 Years Ago: "Come get yer ethical email!"

Don't fall for the con. I've come to learn that services like this might make you feel fuzzy on the inside, but it's just virtue signaling. If they're around long enough they eventually do all the shit they promised they'd never do. Just look at Mozilla.

Disclosure: i work at Infomaniak.

I don't think Google was saying "come get your ethical email", more like "get your free email". Infomaniak is making money by selling services. The free tier is just there as a loss leader. Google was already selling ads. So i don't think it compares.

BTW, Infomaniak is already 30 years old :-)
