    Proton and Mullvad are the only 2 I’d trust. I suspect that they get similar results.

    Proton has gotten a lot better since launch, but it’s always a moving target with these things. I really only have issues with some store sites that just don’t load with a VPN, which only tells me I don’t want to shop there.

    Numbering the folders isn’t dynamic though. If you add a folder later you might need to rename others, which is annoying in itself but then would break any filters applied to them too. I’d rather just organize them as I want manually. It’s not hard to drag and drop them.



  • I’m not sure how any service will help with your YouTube problem. I’m a bit unclear on the details you described, but switching emails doesn’t change YT dynamics at all.

    But I can comment on Proton. I willingly pay through the nose for their services, to get the suite and support their cause. I recommend them to everybody.

    But their services aren’t perfect.

    They have their own contact list (which makes sense since it’s encrypted) but that essentially means you have to maintain 2 lists now (because your phone can’t access the list for calls and messages).

    Their calendar is functional, but lacking compared to other modern calendars. I’ve used it as my primary calendar for a while now, so its usable, but I mention its not great because the calendar seems to be a big feature for you. I’m testing out Fossify Calendar myself now.

    Proton Pass is meh. A lot of people like it, and I haven’t tried it since it launched (or maybe was beta) so it wouldnt be fair to critique the details, but I like Bitwarden better. Regardless though, I don’t like the idea of my password manager password being the same as my proton account. That’s not an option though.

    But overall yes, the proton suite is great and I think well worth the money. Just understand it’s not Google, nor will anything be like Google. In lots of ways that’s a good thing.
