As much as I appreciate this comment, it is weird that it floated to the very top when the article is about location tracking built into Android by Google.
Protonmail might have issues, but the threat of some leaked information through javascript and/or cookies (hello google fonts!) can be attributed to literally every site that uses recaptcha whereas the article is talking about a much, much worse practice of tracking physical location constantly and making it difficult or impossible to use your phone without giving that information to Google.
I hope protonmail finds a better way, and agree that it's not in keeping with their stance on privacy, but it is distracting from what Google is actually doing with phones by talking about an entirely unrelated issue.
No offense intended to the parent, the comment is interesting, it's just not about the article at all and yet is the top comment at the time I write this.
- dmurray 5y agoAgreed! Proton could do better, but conflating their privacy approach (or, say, Apple's or Mozilla's) with Google's is exactly what Google would want you to do. "See - everyone harvests your data, at least we tend to keep it in house". Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
