I’m trying to get rid of my Google dependency and one of those steps was moving over to Protonmail. Now in the past few days i have been picking up signals that even Protonmail is not as clean as it might be.

Does this really impact the privacy of how i use email and so is moving to Protonmail a step forward from Google, or is Protonmail just as bad?

If so, what could be alternatives?


edit:

Some of the alternatives being mentioned in the comments are:

Email:

VPN:

There seems to be some new activity around this post. At the time of writing the post (2 years ago) there were some stories going as user @UnfortunateShort described in their comment. This made me question the best options available at that moment. Currently i am still a Proton user, using their Mail and Calendar service, and Mullvad for VPN.

    Hah, well, two years later here you still are. Amazing!

    Love to hear it! I’m also on proton, if only for mail. I’m looking forward to a storage service with support for sync, so far I’m not so happy with the product I’m using.
