I mean there are a myriad of ways to avoid this:

  1. Log out
  2. Use container tabs or profiles in your favorite browser
  3. Use dedicated apps like FreeTube, GrayJay, NewPipe, Invidious, LibreTube, etc. that don't even ask for a login.

So is there an easy way to migrate all your stuff to some other email service and what are some good ones?

So you can set up a free Proton Mail account and then connect it to your Google account and it will begin archiving all of your emails, past and future. It also has a way better web client than Gmail (not saying much).

I know this is because Google indexes your mail but search is far superior on Gmail to Proton. I've downloaded the indexes from Proton on my home PC but search is still not good for searching email content.

Proton indexes your mail also now and I've had the exact opposite experience. Gmail and G Workspace in general is a fucking shitshow to find absolutely anything.

Really wish there was an iOS app similar to the open source apps listed above. Currently Safari browser and 1Blocker are still working for me on my devices.

It's an unfortunate arbitrary limitation Apple puts on their devices.
