    "only using captcha" so no

      I just tried to register an account using the onion site. It requires JavaScript, as well as either an email or phone number for SMS. I saw no captcha when attempting to create the account. Edit: https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/support/human-verification https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7... "If you are only given the option of email or SMS verification and would like to avoid using email or SMS verification, it is possible to do so by upgrading to a paid plan using PayPal or Bitcoin." Yeah, I would hardly call any of those options anonymous. Pseudonymous at best.

  Which .onion? The signup link on https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion https://protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7... redirects to their clearnet site. Maybe it redirected you too and you landed on that one mythical Tor exit node not yet blocked by Proton, which is always rumored to exist (but I've never seen it)

    As of a month or two ago, it does not redirect to the cleartext site and stays on .onion.

      Right now it's staying on .onion again (and blocking anon signups), but at the time of wangler1949's comment it redirected to proton.me when I checked.
