  • Proton slaps. Strongly recommend. And they keep giving benefits every year for loyalty like more free cloud storage space.

    • I'm waiting for proper Linux support to drop before fully switching.

      Proton Drive is unfortunately useless to me right now, and I get no calendar outside of the web app and Android app.

    • Unfortunately, just like any private company, it can be bought or sold or just have new owners after the old ones die.

      As a company, those great things they do for consumers can change on a whim, especially with new management and sudden need for revenue.

      I mean, I remember people saying similar things about Gmail when it was invite only and had 1gb of storage. "It's the best, why would you use anything else?"

      All this time later, not feeling those same things so much, you know?

      • Proton’s services have been fully open source and regularly audited for years now. Until an audit reveals something or they start locking things down, they are a great option. You shouldn’t refuse to use a service because they might change their mind one day. Unless you expect everyone to roll their own everything.

        Gmail was never open source. It was just very ahead of its time with its integrations/offerings.

  • This is why I switched to K-9 Mail instead of using GMail because borderline Google was legitimately serving malware not just McAfee which isn't malware. Since it allows me to have my Gmail and other email accounts in it all at the same time instead of a dedicated app filled with ads leading to real malware.

    • Oh this doesn't link to McAfee, this links to a scam site that may or may not send you to McAfee's website after clicking their big "buy now" button.

  • Oh man been off the personal plan on gmail for a while (only have gmail for work because my office is on gsuite) and my pal showed this to me recently and I fucking rolled 🤣 I had tutanota an proton for a while but no SMTP support forced me into zoho which is still a millions time better than gmail

    The fact that it goes to a malware website makes it 100 times better
