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 …

    You do make a great point.
    Deciding for yourself is a key point.

    I use Brave on my phone, and whenever I post about it, I almost always get somebody commenting (Cryptobro, Palentir, etc, etc).

    The issue is, Firefox is just terrible for me on mobile, and Chromium-based browsers are faster, more efficient, and integrate better with the OS.

    I get the sentiment about Brave and not using Chromium, but I’m a person with a job and kids, and Brave/Chromium works better for me

      I have no issue with anyone using Brave. I used it for years on Android and Linux.

      I switched for two reasons:

      1. Too much ai commits in Brave.
      2. I found out how to make Ironfox fast enough to not be too annoying on Android. I set “DNS over HTTPS” to Default.

      Without step 2, I’d still be using Brave.
