I will transfer my domains from Google Domains to Cloudflare or Namecheap tonight. What a disaster. I don't trust Squarespace. They are shady. Ugh. Google ruined another product.

this bit me too! 
it was the last nail in the "don't build a future with Google" coffin. i'm moving everything i can anywhere else that doesn't fall out from under me like quicksand.
i switched to:
https://mythic-beasts.com for DNS, and
https://nearlyfreespeech.net for web hosting.
