The world’s 3rd most popular domain registrar has been sold to Squarespace – but Google didn’t notify customers just yet. When could this happen, and why is Google silent?
I’m still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.
They did kill it for me. I was grandfathered into the G Suite software because I signed up back when it was free. Last year they turned around and said “we know we told you that, as an early adopter, you could have this forever; but now we’re kicking you out unless you start paying.”
And then they killed IMAP access (without oauth) moments later. Fortunately I was fast enough to set up my own mail server and copy my family’s emails, photos, documents, etc. out of Google. I haven’t trusted them since.
That’s the best part of Proton+SimpleLogin. I use a “different email” for every account for which I sign up. This allows me to know exactly who sells my info and who doesn’t, by which address starts to get spammed.

Same boat here, but they reversed the decision and offered a free version for personal use. more restrictive, but still offered me what I needed.
