When I initially set out to change mail providers, I considered both Fastmail and ProtonMail.

Ultimately, my decision was based on the fact that ProtonMail is a Swiss company, a country whose privacy laws are stronger than Fastmail’s country of origin, Australia.

So far I’m really happy with ProtonMail as a replacement for Gmail, as a mobile-first user. The only issue is saying “ProtonMail” to people who have never heard of it (surprisingly prone to misspelling).

You could try out the short-hand version "yourname@pm.me". It is not enabled by default, but it is a simple radio button toggle away in your account settings. Certainly more convenient than the full '@protonmail.com'.
