gmail is ok but is firmly in the “every six months it gets slightly worse due to google trying to fix things” territory

I have used the Internet since it first existed. I never used UUCP, though occasionally I sent emails to addresses that specified further transmission via UUCP. I am careful in how I connect to the internet. Specifically, I refuse to connect through portals that would require me to identify myself, or to run any nontrivial nonfree Javascript code. I use LibreJS to prevent nonfree Javascript code from running.. I don't mind giving an identity that isn't really me, in order to connect, if that works. That does not violate my privacy. I often connect in a person's home. The person of course knows who I am, but I have no objection to that. What I would object to is putting my identity in a database that can be searched. I prevent that by changing my mac address at each location. I am careful in how I use the Internet. I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it. I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods. I never run nonfree Javascript on my browser, unless LibreJS finds it to be trivial. I never pay for anything on the Web, because that generally requires running nonfree Javascript code in my browser. It also requires identifying myself. I never identify myself to buy any product. I avoid paying with credit cards generally. That page describes a very few exceptions. For freedom's sake, insist on paying cash. When a business pressures you to pay in an identified way, it's your chance to defend freedom by saying, "If you won't take my cash, no sale!" I would not mind paying for a copy of an e-book or music recording on the Internet if I could do so anonymously, and it treated me justly in other ways (no DRM or EULA). But that option almost never exists. I keep looking for ways to make it exist. For searching, I often DuckDuckGo. Thanks to Tor and LibreJS, it does not identify me. I used to use searx to search specifically for images, but this no longer works: specifying search for images now depends on nonfree Javascript code. Unless and until this is fixed, I no longer use searx. I also sometimes use ixquick.com. My usual precautions should stop them from knowing it is me. Since several years ago, I cannot directly access Google search. It sends me a broken CAPTCHA. I suspect the reason it tries to send me a CAPTCHA is that I am coming through Tor. I would answer the CAPTCHA if that worked, but it does not. I suspect that the reason the CAPTCHA is broken is that it depends on nonfree Javascript that it tries to run in my computer. I refuse to let that run. I am not willing to let Google see where I am, so I won't bypass Tor. However, the Librex proxies have worked around that problem. They enable me to access Google Search indirectly, and they work correctly through Tor with LibreJS enabled.
