What are the leading recommendations these days? is it still mainly protonmail?
I think the features I value most are U2F support and a usable but simple web interface (Gmail's web interface has actually gotten consistency worse over the last decade so I guess that sets a low bar).
- grammers 5y agoU2F support was one of the reasons why I picked Tutanota. It's similar to Proton, but with Proton I really missed U2F and they've promised it for ages...
- fullstop 5y agoI use protonmail as a second account. It works fine, but there are a few quality of life differences compared to gmail. 1. ProtonMail can not search the contents of messages in the web client, unless you enable local indexing. This downloads all of your messages to the client, and performs the search locally. This, of course, must be done from every web client. It makes sense, given that PM can't see the contents of your messages. The Android app can not search the contents of messages. 2. The Android app does not clear notifications if the message is read elsewhere. This can be annoying when you look at your phone and see notifications for 7 unread messages after they've all been read. Proton supports TOTP only, and not U2F/WebAuthn.
