Have people noticed how much popretary java code ProtonMail requires when using a web browser for email?
Also, why the required login on their free VPN service if they are all about privacy and encryption? Why do they want someone’s network traffic in order to use their free VPN?
Over the past 6 months my suspicion grows bigger and bigger of who is behind Proton, the agenda behind starting the service, and how it caught on? Why don’t free encrypted anti-government services catch on?
Until ProtonVPN removes login requirement and release VPN server code under open source license like RiseupVPN or CalyxVPN which are anonymous VPN’s, no account, I will choose to treat Proton like a spy agency.
Lavabit was smooth, I was using email all the time, but that was before messenging. Lavabit was more text and not so much icons and graphics, it was a well run system. The webmail did not have as many options and services as ProtonMail.
Such a well oiled machine, I still miss using Lavabit email service, 10 years later
