A collection of issues and my critiques with Proton.

I've had this drafted for a while but the recent news got me fumed and I locked in to finish and post it.

The nice thing about owning domains is you’re not committed to any provider. I just switched to Proton but if I feel like leaving I can do that in an afternoon.

    The con is that others won't send you encrypted email because they don't know you're using proton

    And the other con is that it ties together your different addresses, via the domain that nobody else uses.

    This is definitely a downside but is why long-term accounts get an alias on my alias domain and garbage accounts get a random passmail or other address provided by SimpleLogin. Stability/portability vs anonymity. I’m not sure if it’s possible to have everything.
