MODERATORS
You mean JavaScript; particularly, https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients.
Because they need to limit how many instances of the VPN you're concurrently accessing somehow.
To use a VPN, you by definition are giving someone your network traffic.
I'm not even touching this...
That would be meaningless. You login to a protonmail account, which you can create anonymously. The server code can also never be verified to be what's running on the servers.
Go for it.
You did a good job to rebutt everything I said, props!
I'm good with letting all of your counterpoints stand on their merits.
I still do wonder how Proton caught on over other encrypted emails and why American government has not gone after Proton like they did with Lavabit, which I did use and then one day all my emails don't exist anymore.
Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.
