I switched to protonmail a few months back, and have been very happy with the service. They focus on privacy and security as a core value. They have a limited free account (limited in terms of storage space and message volume), so not a direct replacement for gmail. I use the paid service for more storage and a custom domain.
Yes, love it. The paid service is $5/m and you can use a custom domain and create 5 email aliases. Also, I think, ProtonVPN comes with that package (not using that yet, but will)
