It may be the last few years of the free web because of Google. Their goals are clear.

Please switch to Firefox, another search engine and another email provider...

Any recommendations for free email providers?

Nothing is free. How would they make money as a company to pay employees and pay hosting bills?

All these big tech companies are free exactly because they are preditory on users.

Pay for good email like Fastmail or Proton.
