I wasn't aware of that. Thanks, I'll avoid it in the future.

Disroot also has a verification method and doesn't include non-free software.

It's not dumb shit, nowadays if you create a company like that you need to rely on someone else's servers, so your word of keeping your data safe means nothing. At least if they don't keep their word with their own servers, they'd be going down on their own.

Also, the question "does anybody use their service" sounds very naive of what's going on in the world, a lot of people uses Protonmail, it's probably the first choice of people wanting to avoid big companies.

People already know me by that email, so I at the very least need to keep the account open even if I switch.

I use it but not as my main email.

I use it to subscribe to all those services that spam your inbox; e.g. spotify, amszon, linkedin, xing, steam, local restaurants, etc. It also use to be my main email in 2016, so some acquaintances still only have that email, si I should keep it open. Plus, I am on the free plan, so I am not losing anything.

I use Tutanota as my main email; for bank, personal emails, official stuff, important accounts, etc. I am on a paid subscription for Tutanota.

? I have registered multiple protonmail addresses over the years and used them via .onion (violating their TOS) and no problem.

I'm not aware of any other service that has .onion registrations and uses E2E automatically.

Better than google though, no?

I use it just like SHODAN does, but also for normal life activities that are linked to me. And it is the most accepted email domain outside of Gmail or Outlook.
