    Desperate for cash and the money from Google might be going away soon because of the antitrust case? Can’t take them on directly in Search; this honestly seems like one of the better ventures for them to go to. Still, 10 years ago would’ve been better and Mozilla squandered some of the goodwill they had in recent years; I’d be a little more reticent about moving my digital presence over now.

      Can’t take them on directly in Search

      Give it a few years, google search is already nearly unusable.

      By the way, as a gmail replacement disroot has been great so far. I wonder what the free tier of thundermail will be like, but also worry a little that it might poach donations from smaller, free services.

        I used disroot for some time, it’s great; but it still doesn’t have encryption sadly. I think they’re working on it though but you need to manually email your GPG key to them, so they can add it. It took me a couple of weeks to get a reply (understandable, the guy who handles it was busy)
