So wait, are they reintroducing ECC?
> This announcement is an example of why I am not using ProtonMail anymore. There are a lot of things they do that sound very good on marketing materials, but upon examination are security theater.

As a user for more than a year I've suffered data loss using the Bridge Client on macOS, seen (and have copies of) encrypted phishing emails originating from trusted TLDs and PM themselves, and well, if they fixed something in the new release I'd really hope it would be the Phishing report button - which doesn't seem to work on Android.
I looked at Tutanota as an alternative, but in the end all I really wanted was something that integrates with my operating environments and just works. There are plenty of ways to communicate securely. Email doesn't have to be best one.
