Recipe Request: Google to Proton #177

I suppose this is somewhat controversial but the reasoning would be the following: Google is a whole ecosystem and migrating away can be incredibly tedious because they offer so much stuff. One way would be to swap out services piece by piece, another way would be to go to another provider that offers a similar suite of products.

The only one that comes reasonably close and is non-US and privacy-friendly (that I am aware of) is Proton, hence the suggestion.

On the other hand, Proton is a single, centralized entity and such a recipe would surely be rather complex. Of course it would be possible to split this up but I'm not sure whether that would make sense.

Thoughts?

I think splitting this up would be the way to go. But having recipes, that target one provider - opens us up to the "chills for that provider" narrative

In that case, I would probably opt for separate recipes for each application and include several in the recommendations to migrate to. If Proton appears in multiple recipes, that should not automatically be a problem, I think.
