So i assume that you are running your own e-mail servers and web scrapers too?
3rd party e-mail service is still a 3rd party that you do not know.
Blindly trusting them is surely a bad thing for people who care about privacy, right?
You already never had care for your privacy by trusting 3rd parties, period.
This reminds me of when Google were being quoted about the whole "don't do bad things on search engines" note as if it was TOTALLY BRAND NEW information.
What he said applies to every single company who offers a service.
Then you have people ranting on about how "Google is evil" blah blah, "i'm switching to Bing!".
Seems people forgot who actually defended their search results and who happily handed them over.
Anyway, i quite like some of the no-config of Google services, but sometimes it just plain doesn't work.
And sometimes, it just leads to there being an awful lack of options in general.
Google Chrome is a HUGE example of this, more so because they (the devs) want to keep all Chrome browsers having the same physical layout.
One of the major reasons people love Firefox is the ability to customize the interface in any way you want, to be able to drag and drop any part of the GUI around*, or hide it almost entirely behind a context menu. (* apparently not allowed with statusbar items anymore... )
Note that Chrome is my main browser, but since Google was pushing the small interface pitch to everyone back at launch, Firefox already won before Chrome was even thought about.
I really wish they'd reconsider it, but i don't see it happening any time soon.
