A proton product that isn’t useless? ahem PASS
I like this, and I REALLY hope Proton ignores the fact that a web browser came first in their community poll for their next service / product. That result shocked me, I couldn’t think of a worse (specifically, more redundant) application for them to release / develop.

What’s wrong with Pass? Genuine question.
The web browser thing seems like such a waste, especially when privacy-focused browsers already exist and can even integrate their suite of apps pretty easily.

I think its redundant and an incredibly bad idea to have my email, vpn, calendar, and cloud provider host my passwords. If I wanted a cloud based password manager, I’d use a standalone tool like Bitwarden. (imo, I realistically think protons implementation in probably just as secure for the average user.)
Either way, I think a password database is too important to store in the cloud, so I use KeePass.

In addition, a lot of Proton services are overpriced compared to third-party offerings.

You might think it is, but it’s clearly an integral part of a software suite. Whether it’s the Apple ecosystem, Google, Microsoft, or Proton, it’s a popular preference for the sake of convenience.

Unless Proton OS is a consideration, I dont think a browser is a natural progression. There are plenty of private browser options already being developed (and I think the proton extensions cover most conveniences). The only way I’d see a Proton browser as a positive thing is if they went all in on ladybird or some other completely independent browser engine.
