Proton’s mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we’re more resilient than other privacy-first companies.

    I’m scared to use my Proton email address much because I’m worried it will get filled with Spam like my gmail address :-/

      That’s what the email alias company that proon bought last year and rolled into subscriptions is for.

      Also, if you buy your own domain, which from cloudflare is like $10/year, you can turn on catchall and use anything@yourdomain and have it delivered. Then, if one of your anything addresses gets compromised, you just block all email going to there and move on.

        I find unless you use the proton password manager the alias feature is too hard to manage from mobile anyway.

        Maybe I’ll convert from my current manager to it, but I do like the idea of alias emails.

            It does but it is plus email addresses. So any half smart spammer will just remove anything in between the + and the @ With proton it is an entirely unique email address that cannot easily be tracked back to your email.
