Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.
Survey with nerds responding to AndroidAuthority shows a minimal unrespresenitive population SAY they would trade features.
Follow up survey finds that few of them actually do when presented with the already current ability to do so.
Fixed that headline for ya.
And this is exactly why I use ProtonMail. My old Gmail is now a junk folder I check…about never.
I was about to pivot to the proton-sphere, and then their leadership and the company in general got all… fascist-appeasing. It put me off.
If email is all you want, Tuta Mail is a good alternative with a free tier.
That tweet doesn’t remotely make one a fascist.
Also the control of the company is in the hands of a nonprofit with a very solid board.
And thus is one of the issues. I watched for a long time as sooooooooooo many people urged going to proton. And now look.
This is true for a lot of things. Are we just doomed to endlessly migrate to different emails, browsers, phones, etc?
Gets fucking old and why I just don’t most of the time. Most hype about anything ever is bullshit.
CEO claims are valid and if people don’t want to support company because of that is fine. But please don’t spread false information about their producs not being trustworthy anymore. Their products have independent audits to show that you can trust their claims and it’s not just empty words.
