It does not have to be 100% overnight
- OutOfHere 8mo agoTuta is just horrible, often rejecting account creation altogether. AtomicMail.io is a nice free alternative to Proton.
- dopidopHN2 8mo agoThanks for your perspective. I've been using tuta since a year now. Nothing to report
- OutOfHere 8mo agoTuta is pathetic because it asked for my real name, ID verification, and real phone number, altogether defeating the point of anonymity. When I refused to provide identification, it disabled and deleted the new registration. This makes it as bad as Discord. Perhaps you have a grandfathered account, but times have changed for the worse with Tuta alone.
- dopidopHN2 8mo agoHan. My only grippe was having to install a app. None of the rest.
- mike-cardwell 8mo agoWhat's nice about AtomicMail.io? I just tested it with https://www.emailprivacytester.com https://www.emailprivacytester.com and it leaked my IP and when I read the email. And I can't even find an option to turn off remote content loading, which has been a standard feature of email and webmail clients for privacy reasons for decades, and should be turned to off by default.
- mvanbaak 8mo agobut then you send a mail to $person, and this $person uses gmail, and now your mail is still indexed by google. The only way to get around this is to use encryption. dont send plain text email.
- syntheticcdo 8mo agoAnd if the recipient uses a Chrome extension to handle the decryption... Google still has access to the cleartext. There's no winning.
