Proton has always been a sham. Their users may be privacy-minded, but not privacy-competent.

Please teach us your ways privacy guru (no, really) (also make it convenient and easy to use)

Yeah, I don't know about their expanded suite nowadays, haven't paid attention, but their original mail service was mostly just marketing.

"Encrypted email" as if all of your mail isn't in plaintext anyways because no one is using PGP. And if you're emailing Proton to Proton... well there are more convenient encrypted messaging platforms.

There's still a pipeline of them coming to Proton from Google and Microsoft, with about as little research as when they decide to leave Proton.

Help me out here — to where?

I have good experience with mailbox.org. I've heard good things about tutanota.

I'm not the most privacy-minded guy though.

yep, Proton is in the business of trust as a service. Surprised that they think differently.
