Users weigh leaving Proton Mail amid ongoing controversy
Original: So glad I have a custom domain. Depending on the outcome of all of this @ protonprivacy stuff, I can quite easily switch
Some users say they are ready to move away from Proton, the privacy-focused email provider, depending on how a current dispute or controversy involving the company turns out. One user noted that owning a custom domain makes switching providers straightforward, pointing to alternatives already in use such as self-hosted Ente for photos and Backblaze B2 for file storage. The discussion highlights how portable email addresses reduce dependence on any single provider.
Why now: An ongoing controversy or dispute involving Proton has users discussing whether to switch to alternative privacy services.
