What makes Proton Mail more secure than Gmail et. al.?
- warkdarrior 2y agoProton offers E2EE for mail, files, and calendar events. Gmail does not.

- account42 2y agoE2EE is a meme when you are using the provider's on-line auto-updating software to access the mail.
- rompledorph 2y agoAre there any schemes that could allow e2ee seamlessly across email providers without compromise in privacy?
- dvzk 2y agoIn theory, S/MIME and SMIMEA. In reality, normal users demand account data recovery in cases of lost encryption keys and passwords. So key escrow is required, which isn't E2EE. ProtonMail tells forgetful users to shove it, which limits its adoption; meanwhile ProtonMail also supports webmail (another feature requirement) which decrypts messages in the browser, weakening any E2EE claims.
