>This would be true if Google didn't want to implement the iMessage protocol as you predict; but in the current state of affairs it's just Apple being anticompetitive.

I do believe, everyone understands how Google is motivated to get hands-on access to iMessage. They have had so many messaging services over the years, that I stopped keeping track already. At the same time iMessage is 11 years old and in good standing.

If you look at the launch date of WhatsApp, you'll see that in fact Apple is competitive. They introduced iMessage two years after WA got it's run.

With FF it's Tab Stash for me[0]. Then I export to Chrome when I have a period of using it as my main browser.

For portability, I use a public Telegram channel that I post interesting links to for later reading. Given the web version doesn't require to be logged in and has a search bar it's very good for accessing everything you have.

I've had a different Gmail account a while ago.

And I noticed that the amount of spam had increased after I emailed a recruiter from an IT recruitment consultancy.

After a while, e-mails from recruiters from other companies started coming in. Some were terribly persistent. And then outright spam began.

I closed the old account and am using a different one.

For work purposes, I use a separate domain name and Email Forwarding by Cloudflare. Mail is routed to the personal inbox of a new Gmail account. Google allows me to send outgoing email from the domain through their SMTP servers. However, sometimes they end up in the recipients' spam boxes, probably because of the MTA chain.

I actively use SimpleLogin in cases when I register on a new website when I am not sure about its security in terms of storing user data or possible mailing lists.

In addition, I own a free domain where Email Forwarding is set up as Catch All with sending to Protonmail. It cut the time to manage unwanted emails almost to zero.
