Honestly, the older the email service, the better. Drop Proton Mail.

Disappointing. I'll need to find an alternative. I was hellbent on leaving google so I didn't care where I went.

Moved from Proton to Fastmail a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier.

> The CEO being a T***p man

That's really all you need to know. If you can't trust the CEO (who is also the founder btw), you can't trust his crew. If you can't trust the crew, you can't trust their products.

That's all there is to it. If you're still using Proton products, you're basically admitting that you're a T***p supporter.

That’s really not how personal endorsement works.

This article is clearly written by someone who doesn't understand how encryption works.

> What happens if I log out of all my proton accounts, travel to the other side of the globe, walk into the first library or internet café I find, and log on to mail.proton.me with my username and password?

The keys are encrypted to your password, that's how you can access your data maintaining E2EE.

That's exactly what I was telling myself, this guy doesn ot understand a word about encryption

Don't be fooled by the technical-sounding article that leads with software/licensing/product-related rationale but buries the real reason:

> After one too many PR scandals though, there was one that I just can't stomach as well as the rest. Which is... The CEO being a Trump man.

These are starting to pop up on HN (another example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49585161). Outright political posts get flagged here so the new tactic looks to be pretending to make a decision for technical reasons.

There was a brief moment when the Proton CEO published a whole self agrandizing article with pics of himself and the wifey and what selfless people they are, and how she had her own identity and everything, that and all about the servers sitting inside the swiss alps underground, but hey it was free, still is a free add for email services with an almost completely non functional email service behind the adds. I still use it for certain technical things, but it's broken for everday use in the free version The whole thing has the hink, hink with grue, almost like it's google with a different skin. I now have my own web space and email, which is half broken right now, but that suits me as whatever does get through is more work and other time consuming stuff than I can handle
