    I haven’t jumped yet, but the Proton suite is looking more and more appealing. I’ve been eyeing them as a Gmail replacement, but I’ve been happy with my VPN and password management providers. As this reduces the bundle makes more sense.

      They have a solid value proposition but don’t like putting all my eggs all in one basket both for security and monopoly reasons.

      They seem to be gunning for one stop shop and I think they are doing decent shop but I just don’t like the idea after what Google did to us.

      Situation is a bit different but gonna need to tka the lessons and not let these corpos do this again.

        That’s a good practice, and I think you’re right that is what they’re going for. I don’t think that means you shouldn’t consider them, but it does lower their value proposition as the bundle is the better deal.

        this isnt a full solution obviously, but I figured it’d be nice to know: Proton lets you set different passwords for your email and password manager, so at least from a security standpoint its not all behind the same password, even if it is still from the same company
