I'm in the other boat, I've been pondering de-Googling to either FastMail or ProtonMail, and struggled to make a decision.

Now it's been made for me and I can plan my migration to FastMail :-).

I migrated to FastMail from Proton earlier this year (after being with Proton since 2019). So far I'm more than happy with the decision.

FastMail is great, I'm not sure there's the same expectations around privacy though. I've been using it for years and love my masked emails, but I don't have any expectations that my data is locked down or encrypted, and one legal request would expose my info.

> one legal request would expose my info

This is already true for Proton. While they don't keep logs for ProtonVPN (as tested in court), they do for ProtonMail. Someone went to prison for trusting ProtonMail with their illegal activity.
