I assume this means safer than custodial
Discussion
That really depends on how one defines safety I guess. I only consider airgapped hardware to be "safe" for my main stack. Saftey is quite relative to context. This would be "safe" for a small amount for me, but I certainly wouldn't use some software only solution for a large amount. Still cool regardless. Just made me think.
"While offline hardware wallets can theoretically be more secure, the associated expense and increased complexity limits their use cases, so Proton Wallet aims to be the most secure, always-accessible Bitcoin wallet."
Yeah, two completely different things, which was my point. Comparing them and calling this safer is simply wrong. Getting your seed from a screen on an internet connected device is never going to be as safe as not. The added complexity IS the security. They should stay in their lane of hot wallets and not pretend that they are an alternative to using offline solutions. It would be different if they said safer than other hot wallets. But they explicitly compare to hardware here. Someone will eventually get rekt.
