We can’t save ourselves lying though.

great question. it depends on your threat model. proton doesn't even recommend itself if you are the next edward snowden. email is not the most secure medium of communication https://proton.me/blog/protonmail-threat-model

but imo it's great for most people. i both use and recommend it...especially for custom domains, unlimited access to #simplelogin and a mobile vpn with splittunneling on android.

that said, it's not best infosec/opsec to keep all of your eggs in one basket. i still use and recommend bitwarden and keepass over proton pass and i'd be keen to use #mullvad vpn more if it offered splittunneling etc

You may want to check Tuta.com .

I have used each and every alternative out there. I would choose Tuta (formerly tutanota) service for privacy and security.

1. If you care about privacy don't use Tutanota. They don't care.

2. If you care about security. It's more secure to use Gmail with GPG/PGP than using Tutanota.

Imagine the fume from global security agencies as this guy gives up a global honeypot to save his own skin.

Look at this from a different angle. Have you noticed a massive PR attack to defend Tutanota?
