I use ProtonMail, and I was thinking, “Damn, it’s spectacular not being tracked… but hold on a minute. Perhaps less than gmail, but still at all. And what about browser fingerprinting, and cookies, and even fonts!” I ended up in that feedback loop we all end up in. Perhaps ignorance is bliss? What is something you (might) wish you were ignorant of?
One of the ways of fingerprinting that they use is to determine what fonts you have loaded onto your browser and it’s surprisingly effective. I think before I changed mine to all default my fonts were unique to like 1:10000 people which once you factor in other fingerprinting techniques can make you pretty obvious
