Cool, thank you. Yeah I need to buy a domain for email at some point
unless I’m mistaken they can’t hand over your actual emails, since they are encrypted at rest by your password, right?
That is true I believe, they can use the address to identify you but if the email content is encrypted they can’t get the contents. The subject line though is not encrypted.
Same though, I’m not necessarily trying to avoid the police or government but mainly advertising/AI bullshit/ less reliance on google. Do you use proton’s other services, like the cloud storage and VPN?
I’m actually a current Mullvad VPN customer, I know of their browser but I haven’t tried it. They’re very privacy friendly, no email required for sign up, and you can even mail them cash to pay. While I like what stand for and think they’re awesome, recently they decided to stop offering port forwarding for their VPN, so I need to find an alternative. My main use case for VPNs is torrenting, so port forwarding helps with that a lot. Proton VPN offers port forwarding which was why I was considering just using them for both email and VPN.
Their browser sounds interesting though, from what I’ve heard it’s basically Tor browser but without the Tor network. The fingerprinting protection sounds awesome, I think one issue with my current browser setup is that I’m probably very unique and easy to fingerprint. So will look into that.
