I believe that it is good to make informed purchases. With that said, Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntson has been im a controversy recently.

    I see them in African cities with their nice air conditioned cars, living in basically in mansions partying with Digicel guys, having multiple local staff (cooks, drivers, etc). I don't want my money to go to making a 24-year-old sociology graduate from Foxrock comfortable. And they are not held accountable for that, because they can give a glossy impact statement every year to their donors.

    Don't use web/cloud - based password managers. See LastPass

    If it's only for you, then KeePass or Bitwarden/Vaultwarden are both self-hostable (keepas doesn't even require a server for sync).

    Bitwarden does have a multi-user/sharing capability when used with Vaultwarden.

    I've never seen a Proton advert. Regardless, that is not evidence.

    Something that would count as evidence is perhaps this article that proves that they literally did not have access to the emails: https://protos.com/protonmail-hands-info-to-government-but-says-its-not-google/

    TL;DR, Proton was demanded to hand over the information that they had on someone to the Spanish authorities. They complied and gave them all the information they had: a recovery email address.

    If you have evidence of your claims, please share them, as Proton is a widely used email, but you can't make these sorts of claims without evidence.

    I am with you, but what makes amazon more convenient is their broad spectrum of stuff. I can buy all sorts of very specific electronics and household stuff and pay for shipping once. But going to otto, pollin, reichelt, zalando and more adds shipping, spams my inbox and increases the risk of my personal infomation being leaked in case of a data breach. I hate amazon, but I also don't like that other online shops seem so seperated. Shouldn't there be an incentive for smaller online shops to band together and create an alternative to giants like amazon?
