> Users with a consumer Google Account (such as Gmail users) can't access client-side encrypted content, send encrypted email, or participate in client-side encrypted meetings.

> To view or edit client-side encrypted content, users must use either the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser.

Email exists between providers in its current form because there weren't people trying to figure out how to insert themselves in between so they can make money. Justify needing a better reason
