Oooooh exciting update: I’ve finally made the jump to Proton and I’m feeling pretty excited about it. After a ton of research (and a little trial‑and‑error), I’ve decided that this platform will be perfect to help me leave Google behind and continue to boycott the USA.

For those who don't know, Proton is a service based in Switzerland (great privacy laws and not subject to draconian US snooping). They encrypted everything end‑to‑end, and they have an entire suite of products: Mail, VPN, Drive, Calendar, Password Manager!

🍁 For my fellow #BoycottUSA peeps, Proton’s privacy standards line up nicely with Canada’s own data‑protection expectations.
They even have French‑language support for those in Québec, and billing works smoothly in CAD.

If you do want to give it a try, they have a free tier! But if you want to commit, you can use my link and grab $20 off your first bill: https://pr.tn/ref/A4WTDR7V

@jace Beware that the Proton CEO appears pro MAGA. I think Proton even left Fedi after hard backlash.

Proton Mail Says It’s “Politically Neutral” While Praising Republican Party

The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.

@jace I also really like it. Their newsletter unsubscribe (and purge) feature is really smart. Honestly, I think @fastmail is slightly better as a product but it's less of a suite (with spreadsheets etc.). What is really annoying and borderline IMO is that Proton runs upsell campaigns within the UI on paying (!) customers.
