I’ll start off by saying I get where the push back is coming from. I heard some of the sub-human things the CEO has said. But I’ve been looking at the competition and I’m not seeing any instant winners.
I get anger I get having morals but constantly changing emails as your main is exhausting. the features Proton offers for me have always worked and worked great.
My question is outside of being a typical CEO AI shareholder simp, has Protons security protocols lapsed ?
What other options ? Particularly ones with generous free tiers.
I’m sure this will get downvoted to hell but I need to ask …
My honest advice: If Proton fulfils your needs, stick to it. There are currently no concerns that outweighs the benefits Proton can provide.
A possible alternative would be Mailbox(.org). I would recommend against Tuta, due the absence of JMAP/IMAP (vendor-lockin) and lack of PGP encryption support (means you can only send End-to-End encrypted emails to other Tuta users).
Dude, I tried tuta the other day. In my opinion the free version is so locked down and void of basic expected features that I deleted the account after two days.
Then I set up a self hosted mailcow server and I will never be looking back.
I will be letting my proton subscription laps when the time comes.
