Irritating. I'm trying to extricate myself from Google entirely, but in the meantime I've used uBlock Origin to block the notification.

[–] wmassingham@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

With what rule? I looked and it didn't seem like there was a good way to target it.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Should be able to click and block it in the Element Picker mode.

For most cases that works fine, but it looks like the xpath uses generated identifiers, so any time they push a change to the Gmail UI the rule won't match any more.

[–] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you go up a level and block more vaguely?

[–] wmassingham@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No, same issue with the parent elements. Eventually you'd be blocking too widely and block the whole thing.

Proton mail is a good option

There's alot of good options (prices are for the base/cheapest premium plan plan) :

All are good options, do your own research though.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

protonmail operates on a fremium service, you don't have to pay. I highly recommend the paid options though... and if you happen to have a webdomain, they'll manage an email server for you (which is a pain in the ass... and totally worth it. They do a good job.)

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I mentioned in my comment that the prices were based off the cheapest "premium" plan. If I were to include freemium, tutanota, mailbox.org and others would also be free.

Hm, really? I might have to look at that. I'd love my own email domain

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

check the business plans

not trying to shill for them, but, the 'support for custom domains'- if you have a domain already, you can use that instead of theirs. and because they manage it... it stay up to date etc. They're far from the only people that provide that service, mind you.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would like to use my domain for that, but was always wondering if I could do that while using my domain and other non mail subdomains on another server

[–] AProfessional@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes an MX dns entry only applies to email, you can have other entries (A, AAAA) for a normal server.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So I would add a MX entry and set it to the ip of the Proton Mail Server?

Proton. Completely satisfied with it. Highly recommend.
