I’ve moved almost completely to Proton Mail. I expect I’ll end up keeping a Google or Outlook account, not for use as a primary account, but as a recovery account or to access other services.
I currently see a lot less value in the google account than outlook, but that’s because my family does need access to full blown office. Libre office does 98% of what I need, but on occasion I do need office. An install of 2010 would probably meet that requirement as well. Firefox is set to delete cookies on exit, and I do not ever stay signed into these services.
Does anyone else keep free service email accounts around, and if so, what do you use them for? What’s the pit-fall I’m not seeing if I try to restrict them and treat them with the Principle of Least Privileged model?
RSS feeds are what set me free, and they’re actually much more reliable, YouTube can’t seem to create working subscription notifications.
You can create a rss feed for a youtuber ?
Yes. Just go to their channel page, right click, view page source. Search the source code for channelid=(long string of letters and numbers)
Put this into your feed reader: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=(long string of letters and numbers)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/feeds/videos
