I’ve been a paid Proton user for about a year now and I can’t recommend it highly enough. They’re seriously hard core about security and privacy and the usability is easily a match for any comparable offering.

When Google CAPTCHAs me on every single query from a known reputable exit node, yeah, I want that security.

Interesting take. I was a paying personal customer who switched away from ProtonMail. I appreciate it for what it is, but ultimately for me it was just way too slow. The website is incredibly sluggish, and the mobile app is worse. I spent a good 5-10 seconds waiting on a loading screen everything I wanted to check my email.

Very strange. I use Protonmail with Thunderbird on desktop, and the Protonmail app on my phone. I've never once seen any slowdown. That's part of why I switched to it, it was so much faster than my prior mail.

I don't interact with the website, so I can't comment on that.
