As all things Proton.
Best alternative for email?
E2E Encrypted FOSS smoke signals that are only visible on a Time-Based One-Time wavelength of light are the only way.
Avoid why?
Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.
Same, staying with bitwarden for now
Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).
Hey what type of URL matching do you use for achieving this? BW suggest me all the entries for a domain and doesn't differentiate sub domains.
Same. Although the simplelogin integration seems nice.
I discovered not too long ago that Bitwarden has the same integration! https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/
You need to configure it on each device though, and you need to generate an API key first.
I'll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton
I'm tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn't work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it's completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn't even pop up. I'm using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).
Should I switch to Proton?
Before switching you should maybe read this and wait for the native app : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/
Wow thanks, I have no idea. That's great news. I'll definitely wait for the native app. But in the meantime I'll try out Proton as a "backup" just in case something bad happens to Bitwarden or my personal vault.
Which sites or apps does it not pop up? It is rare for it not to pop up for me.
I'll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don't have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.
Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I'm tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐
Yeeeeees. If you're orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it'd be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don't grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.
I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I'd really like to see this happen soon.
On the one hand, yes.
On the other, they're still a for-profit company and Linux users still make up a small portion of their customers.
They likely have a larger portion of Linux users then other companies though.
Meaningless information from a business perspective
I don't think you have the insider information to really make that call.
The only "Insider information" I have is a public interview with the CEO on a Linux creator's channel.
