Fair enough. They should scrape all data, and fork a new version then.

Under US jurisdiction which at the moment is uncertain grounds. It’s better than Google by far, but not a solution to be settled on in the long term.

Been using Qwant for a while now, happy with it.

Proton or Tuta should suit your needs for email and calendar. Native apps are decent too.
