ProtonMail? It supposedly has encryption that prevents ProtonMail from reading your email.
Using Thunderbird plus Enigmail for GnuPG, I can use any email provider, and be ~certain that they can't read my stuff.
Yes but no one can either :( In the last 5 years I received 2 encrypted emails, and thousands of non encrypted emails. The problem with PGP is that almost no one is using it.
Maybe the people you email with do use it though.
But whatever. The ability to use GnuPG serves as a filter ;)
This means that maybe now the private keys are on your device, at any point in time they can update their frontend javascript code to get your private key and read all your emails.

Yes definitely, I wouldn't get any emails at all anymore. Works great for Inbox Zero I guess.
That's the risk. By default, the filesystem isn't accessible to Javascript. But here, you've authorized key access for encryption and decryption. I suppose that Thunderbird and Enigmail could be modified to do much the same. But arguably that would be discovered quickly.
