said by georgermct:....Google is pure evil tracking EVERYTHING you do.
Everything that is touched by Google is off limits to me and it should be to everyone but there is a LOT of people that don't care....
And that is why some of us here have been discussing and looking at - yes, hard to believe - but, Microsoft's webmail offering, now rebranded to the name 'Outlook'.
Naturally, with the impending change of Yahoo's GUI alone (
"Change is not necessarily Progress !"), I and others have been shopping around for other webmail providers recently, and now this added whammy of me agreeing to a new ToS which lets Yahoo look at my mail ?
Not gonna happen !
Now I have TWO reasons to go elsewhere, and Google also has a 2nd reason which will keep me away :
They bitch at my choice of web browser (using a screen-hogging nag which I can dismiss on every page, but I cannot defeat), and I have good reasons for this choice and am not switching just to satisfy THEM.
I only had the Google GMail account as a side-effect of playing with their cloud-based apps last year, and they didn't even tell me that I had it at the time.
So, it might be that at least THIS TIME, Microsloth is the lesser evil ?
