Irritating. I'm trying to extricate myself from Google entirely, but in the meantime I've used uBlock Origin to block the notification.

With what rule? I looked and it didn't seem like there was a good way to target it.
Should be able to click and block it in the Element Picker mode.
Right click, block element.
Whatcha usin for email?
Proton mail is a good option
There's alot of good options (prices are for the base/cheapest premium plan plan) :
- Tutanota
- 3€/m billed yearly
- Protonmail
- $4/m billed yearly
- Mailbox.org
- 1€/m billed yearly
- Posteo.de
- 1€/m billed yearly
- Fastmail
- $3/m billed yearly
- Runbox
- $1.66/m billed yearly ($19.95)
All are good options, do your own research though.
protonmail operates on a fremium service, you don't have to pay. I highly recommend the paid options though... and if you happen to have a webdomain, they'll manage an email server for you (which is a pain in the ass... and totally worth it. They do a good job.)
I mentioned in my comment that the prices were based off the cheapest "premium" plan. If I were to include freemium, tutanota, mailbox.org and others would also be free.
Proton. Completely satisfied with it. Highly recommend.
Enhanced Safe Browsing was released in 2007 as an upgrade to Google's standard Safe Browsing feature that warns users when they visit known phishing and malware sites.
That's gotta be a typo. Gmail itself came out in 2004, and I doubt that "Safe Browsing" and then "Enhanced Safe Browsing" both came out in the first three years.
I'm guessing it's supposed to be 2017?
Regardless of when it came out, the nagging prompts sure are annoying.
Thunderbird/FreeMail?
I don't use the website much at all anymore
People still use gmail?
Of course they do... Most organizations in the US are using Gmail at this point. I don't even know a single person in my life that doesn't.
I don't use Gmail, my wife don't use Gmail, I can't think of any friends that use Gmail. People in my circle don't see value in trading privacy for a "free" email account. I use fastmail, been very pleased.
Virtually every company public and private in the US use Gmail or Outlook. Interesting that your circle is using alternatives but you're still very much an outlier. Like to an extreme that's very surprising to hear. For personal use nearly 90%+ of global market share splits between Gmail and Apple with nearly 60% of email in the US being Gmail based and Apple holding most of the rest.
