I want to stop using google services as much as possible, which is why I want to switch to a different email service. I don't know which one I should switch too though. It would be great if someone could recommend a good alternative.

Use ProtonMail for generic, common stuff wherever your personal name and identity is attached. The reason is simple - it is the most commonly accepted email provider outside of GMail or Outlook.

If you want a secure private email for discrete communications, pick a better alternative from this guide https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/email.html

This is my personally applied strategy.
