I’m a proton unlimited subscriber. Can’t recommend these guys enough. Customer support is always excellent, very capable guys no matter if you’re on Android or Arch Linux, these guys know their shit. They have a black Friday sale every year but for protonvpn, protonmail, simplelogin premium, 500gb storage. Everything e2ee, I mean, what can I say but they’re an amazing company.
I’ll second this one. I love Proton. It’s the only free service, other than the late Apollo, that I’ve ever decided to pay to upgrade just because I love it so much. It also happens to be well worth paying for imo.
As with any service, unless you build and host it all yourself, you’re ultimately trusting some one else with your data. However, Proton are generally very transparent and, as you say, seem to really know their shit. For those reasons I choose to trust their services.
All companies located in the west are not private. They have to operate according to the local laws, and those laws allows governments and agencies to get the data they ask for.
But depends on what you mean with private also. It’s private in a way that they don’t sell your data perhaps.
It really saddens me they changed their domain to proton.me it looks so wildly unprofessional and spammy while protonmail.com looked professional and even futuristic/scientific. Such a bizarre decision especially since everything else they do is so great

I hear a lot of criticism about them pretending to be private and not actually protecting user’s data

That is nonsense. They actioned 1 legal enforcement which every company would have to do.
I use Proton as well. Very happy with it.
