Who do you trust? Are you rolling your own secure email? Do you trust them more or less than Gmail?
- fossuser 6y agoI trust them less because their privacy claim around email (and really their entire service) is dumb. It’s good to use your own domain, it’s good to use a non ad-driven business model like fastmail (though even this is mostly for the user experience and not security) Beyond that “secure” email when you’re largely communicating with other @gmail users, isn’t a thing. Google has some of the best security researchers in the world, I’d trust their employees to do a better job than proton at securing the service itself. Email should be treated as largely public (for personal use) and not used for sensitive communication. It’s a little different in a corporate setting, but then you’re not using proton mail anyway.
