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.

I never said i agreed with OPs specific claims. I agree with more of what you just said than what OP said.

My only claim is that its totally unacceptable to add nothing to a convo other than trying to peer-pressure shame a person from talking about privacy concerns on a privacy community. Sometimes that type of abuse would stop nonsense, and sometimes itd stop legit convo.

Telling someone they are "crazy" is one of the most common ways to shut down legit observations and i see it too much.
