For some reason I have it in the back of my mind that they were at one point accused of being a honeypot for US intelligence because of their association with MIT. Probably complete BS, but maybe not. Are they as open source as they claim to be? Looks like they’re on github. F-Droid seems to think they have some Google libraries or whatever that they use.

ProtonMail users, how do you like/dislike it?

    • the “ads” aren’t shoved up your ass. It’s not bad.
    • their customer service helped me a couple of times. (And a couple of times they didn’t)
    • they have a dedicated site for feature requests. Yet, they still choose what they implement and don’t comunicate it perfectly. They’re still a company. They do it better thab most others.
    • they don’t artificially limit the features on ine os, because it’s not yet implemented on all. That’s actually a good thing, not a bad one.
    • on linux it’s incredibly easy to add a vpn. No idea why we scream for an app.

      There shouldn’t be any ads when you’re already an “unlimited” subscriber. None.

      their customer service helped me a couple of times.

      Cool?

      they have a dedicated site for feature requests.

      That, as I said, is largely ignored by the company.

      Didn’t say they did.

      Because you want to access the features that Proton offers? Not to mention the other products.

      Simple: an app can’t change at the flick of a button on the web’s end. Trusting a web app, is foolish.
