Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

The difference between the two security features is that Safe Browsing will compare a visited site to a locally stored list of domains, compared to Enhanced Safe Browser, which will check if a site is malicious in real-time against Google's cloud services.

While it may seem like Enhanced Safe Browsing is the better way to go, there is a slight trade-off in privacy, as Chrome and Gmail will share URLs with Google to check if they are malicious and temporarily associate this information with your signed-in Google account.

Articles like this are now almost daily reminders to seek new tools. I've been using Gmail since 2004 back when it was by invite. I hate to jump ship now, but goodness, I'm questioning continuing to give Google my money.

I moved my custom domain this past weekend because Google sent me a notice that my pricing was about to double to $18/month for 3 email addresses. I’m s absurd and I’m still pissed they rugged pulled us on the custom domains after many years of using their services. They kept adding “value added features” that I don’t care about to justify their pricing and all I wanted was email. Takeout.google.com to download your mailboxes.

Did you import that email elsewhere? Or is it in a readable format that is even usable? Would love to know

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I imported it to my Mac using the box files. I’m currently waiting for an update to a Thunderbird plugin to allow me to input them to my PC as well for safekeeping.

Man that would be great. My business is on Zoho Mail and I've been thinking of moving it over elsewhere. Would be great if Zoho also offered something like Takeout for importing the mails elsewhere

Same here. Also now paying for Workspace but have been meaning to look into alternatives. One downside is there's nothing really offering 5 TB of cloud storage for a similar price.
