If you log in, know that Google knows you’re using MicroG amd has the capacity to ban your account.
Not heard of any bans yet, but I’m probably close to ditching revanced soon because this is my primary email address and Google is getting more and more aggressive
I’d advise against Proton - they’re not good at actually respecting privacy and require a premium subscription to access your email over SMTP (making it much harder to switch away).
Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don’t seem to have any complaints.
Even Walmart lets shoplifters return to their stores after like three years. Think about that, if you owned a shop, what would mean to welcome back as a customer someone who previously stole from you?
Not that blocking ads is stealing, that they need us a lot more than we need them. Can build the nicest, fanciest store around with all the best things for sale, doesn’t mean shit if nobody shops there.
If the experience gets any worse, I just won’t watch YouTube videos. I already watch way less than I used to when it was a cool video hosting platform, before it started enshitifying.

Look in to switching to a privacy respecting email. It’s not for everyone, but i am very happy with the Proton suite of apps.
I might do that, I made this email when I was 13 and didn’t know much about the digital world

Email isn’t private. They don’t scan your email for ads which is about all you can ask for
??
They strip all the tracking from the emails. I’ll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.
How is it not private?
Email as a protocol is not private. It wasn’t designed to be.
Define private

I think what you have in mind is YouTube Vanced. ReVanced doesn’t use the MicroG Suite.
