I've been using Proton Mail and VPN for a while now, and I'm just wondering how everyone else feels about them. I have this kind of inherent alight distrust of them just because they seem like they offer a lot for free and kind of have a Big Tech vibe about them, but there's nothing for me to really substantiate that distrust with, its mostly just a feeling. That being said, I do use their services as mentioned and they work pretty well, even on the free teir. So aside from that one instance where they gave that guy's info to the feds, is there any reason not to trust them with my data?
One of the biggest tinfoil hat youtubers out there, heh. I think he has some good stuff though, other stuff is just plain speculation and paranoia. Email in general is not secure, not everyone can self host or wants to self host. Proton does it's job for anyone that needs an alternative to Google and also wants to maintain a set of features like calendar, tasks and so on.
