Pretty much. Proton is an excellent defense against advertising and personalized pricing.
If your threat model is a individually targeted APT from a TLA no email service can protect you. You are going to need to manually PGP everything before it ever sees a network for a 10% chance of success.
99% of people will have 99% of their real email problems solved by proton, especially if they make use of Protons partnership with simplelogin.
So why are we as a pro security community producing more articles about their shortcomings than their benefits and how to use them wisely?
