Can you share more about why you think Proton’s approach is better than Tuta?
From a casual read through they both appear to use end to end encryption when users are on the same service. (Proton emailing Proton or Tuta emailing Tuta) and both offer the option to password encrypt an email so you can message someone on other services as long as you can share that password with them IRL somehow.
Proton lost me when I found out you can’t receive notifications from their app on a de-googled phone. Their app requires Google services for notifications.
Since then I’ve moved to Tuta and am very happy with the service and notifications work.
I mean how hard is it to set up a new email check every half hour in the app. What’s the point of private email when you have to run it on a spyware (Google) infested phone.
Proton is doing privacy the right way.
