i amm getting bothered with long history of my email accounts like web tracking etc and planning to make new account since i dont want to be inline with old data, and if it woek, my question is is email security for example apple vs google is apple secure against random hacking in case steam guard gets compromised, and if deleteing old email accounts ei gmail and its linked google account removes old ad based data for like 20 years, cause i been using it since highschool and dont want to see same youtube results ie i dont want to google based ad on my past search history so i want to delete my old gmail account and either use apple mail or gmail and not sure if its any different from point of security so i dont loose my steam account.

i want to repghrase question basically is email security in any way dependent on its provider if they both use 2fa sms or its dependent on whether or not pc is infected.

You should use your ISP provided email

Neither crApple, nor grossMail ... xDDD

Most secure is ProtonMail, and Microsofts Outlook/Hotmail/Live eMails do also have latest standards, being able to login without any passwords set.

ProtonMail does also include a ProtonVPN Software, if needed.

i try to use as little accounts as possible, and dont like to use like devices to just login, thats why i was thinking of using apple, but i honestly not sure any of them are any good, ideally i want to change or erase accounts everty few months or years so that i dont need to change email address, i think none of them do that, like i need to login to like 20 different account to just update email.

I own minimum 3 secured eMail adresses. 1 for online shopping, 1 for private stuff, and 1 for gaming..

one single email account can be contra-productive. if hacked or hijacked, you are in trouble.

i dont think its like due to hacking though, i noticed even if you got like empty account which is old enough it got some kind of hidden metadata associeated with it like login time, your ip address history etc which is used in some kind of voodoo like "magic" to sort of glue you into stuff you browse online, i think its kinda strange that no one ever investigated into it, as what we typically told its only used for the betterment of "products" which i seriously never seen used in that way to my knowledge.
