Free tier proton what? Mail, VPN, pass?

[โ€“] stenAanden@feddit.dk 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I made a Proton mail on the free tier. But I can't connect using the Proton desktop email client, and I can't connect using Thunderbird on free tier either because you need to edit settings that are only available in paid Proton tier

They only offer mail access via external sources for their paid tier. It's not available on the free tier.

*for any platform

Their protonmail app should work, no? I think they have .deb and .rpm packages.

Their desktop app (for email) requires a paid plan as far as I can tell, so you need to use their web client instead. They do have a two week trial of the desktop client though, which is interesting.

I see, didn't know that. Their app is wrapped web-app btw anyway, so I guess using a browser is almost the same.

The protonvpn client on linux supports free tier accounts.

I installed Chromium and created a webapp. If firefox will ever support webapps for linux I will switch.

There is an extension that you can install on Firefox and fork friends:

You will need to install a companion app on your OS. On Linux, it's available on all the major distro families. I use the Arch-based EndeavourOS, so I just installed it via the official Arch repos.

There is a small set up process but you are then able to install web apps easily!

Oh, nice. Thx I will try it. :) Hopefully I can ditch chromium with that. That would be awesome.

[โ€“] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, that would be great! Firefox is a good choice, but you also have LibreWolf (more private OOTB, the antifinger printing is a bit strict though), Zen Browser (which uses vertical tabs and has a lot of unique features), and Floorp (quite customisable).
