....tell me more of these proton mail services of which you speak!

It's like Gmail except it has a proper dark mode, an actually functional search feature, a functional and user-friendly mail filtering system, you can actually block senders, "All Mail" actually shows you all mail, and also Google isn't reading all your emails...

Been using their paid email, drive and vpn for the last couple of years and their service has been flawless in my experience. Great apps and never had an outage or issues once.

Free versions are available but the paid version is well worth it.

I've been with them for a couple of years too and I use all their services (mail, calendar, drive, VPN, pass and simplelogin) but calling it flawless is a bit of an overstatement.

Their outside communication is nonexistent at best, development speed is unbearably slow and Linux support, the most privacy countious user-base?, is lacking a lot.

Hopefully in the next couple years they sinally manage to release contact sync and a Linux client for Drive.

Eh, they're decently active on Reddit, I guess. They send the occasional newsletter regarding new features if you don't unsubscribe (and they're pretty good at not spamming with those, imo).

development speed is unbearably slow

I see people say this all the time, and while feature updates are kind of slow, I'm also not lacking anything, personally. I would appreciate it if they smoothed-out SimpleLogin's extension, though. That thing is weirdly clunky to use.

Agree on the Linux bit, though. I'm surprised they haven't put more work into that.

Overall, I've been a happy customer for a few years, personally.
