Thank you for the link, I wasn't aware of that bug. I deleted all google cookies by hand, and now everything seems to be working as it should!

My transition was quite smooth, but everyone has different circumstances. It wasn't a problem with banking in my case, I just changed my email at the bank. But probably your bank works differently?
In my case the good thing is that my email is hosted and handled by me, so I need something like Protonmail just as an emergency email in case my hosting server is down. (Sure I could use Google that way, but I just don't want to.)
Thank you for the extra link! Interesting guides there even besides email.
Partly off-topic: is that true even when one uses PGP? Email security and encryption is something I know very little about, unfortunately.
Thank you for the heads-up about the client restrictions!
4 years, that says something about reliability. Thank you!
Uh, never heard of indeed, thank you! Let me take a look.
That's great and that's what I did as well. It also feels safer to have old email just in my computer (with backups of course) and not somewhere in the cloud. I only keep a year of past emails in the server, just for reference. Will check Fastmail, cheers!
Thank you! I'm exploring it right now and I agree on the more friendly feeling.
Hey, I appreciate the honesty! I'm looking into Tutanota right now, thank you for the heads-up :)
Not hostile at all, thank you :) Indeed I asked this question because I suspected I was misunderstanding how to use the site. Here's an example. A comment in this post:
https://lemmy.world/comment/960056
gives a link to a Mastodon post. The link I see is https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079
If I click that link, I do see the Mastodon post, but it's on a Mastodon instance different from mine (https://c.im/). If I wanted to boost, favour, or reply, I have to open another tab/window, go to my Mastodon account on my instance, search for that post, and then I can boost etc. Let me know if this is unclear.
Maybe it's just because I use Mastodon via browser and not a 3rd-party app, as some comments here have suggested.
Luckily "effectively the standard" is just a temporary thing. What browser was considered "standard" has changed many times in the past, and will continue to change in the future. Of course for this to happen everyone who cares must keep on pushing.
