lol what a joke , im genuinly surpised anyone would even pay for 1 of their producs [besides the vpn maybe]
Why?
Just waiting on what the Standard Notes collaboration pans out to. Also wish they’d flesh out their side projects fully before adding more and more new toys to the suite.
They said in the announcement that this came out of the standard notes collaboration
"We built docs in Proton Drive as a joint project with the team from Standard Notes, who share our core values around privacy and security. "
id advise to just start using jopling or whatever suits you. i cannot proove it but would not be surprised if they keep buying those apps mainly to remove them from the market and thus grow their
monopolyecosystem. addy.io also got an offer to sell but refused.As always, it’s different people working on different products.
Yes, but the company can still be stretching itself too thin by having too many projects on at once.
I know it’s usually not as simple as throwing bodies at a project, but it feels like they could still do with more focus on their core products.
Sure. I’m no fan of most proton products anyway anymore because their products don’t work with other software like calendar only works with their apps. I use vpn, pass and mail but the rest isn’t too useful for me and I rather use nextcloud. Not because their products are trash but because I want something slightly different.
Maybe they could even stop charging subscription fees for client-side features for the people who self-host…
A new proton product that isn’t useless? ahem PASS
I like this, and I REALLY hope Proton ignores the fact that a web browser came first in their community poll for their next service / product. That result shocked me, I couldn’t think of a worse (specifically, more redundant) application for them to release / develop.
What’s wrong with Pass? Genuine question.
The web browser thing seems like such a waste, especially when privacy-focused browsers already exist and can even integrate their suite of apps pretty easily.
I think its redundant and an incredibly bad idea to have my email, vpn, calendar, and cloud provider host my passwords. If I wanted a cloud based password manager, I’d use a standalone tool like Bitwarden. (imo, I realistically think protons implementation in probably just as secure for the average user.)
Either way, I think a password database is too important to store in the cloud, so I use KeePass.
In addition, a lot of Proton services are overpriced compared to third-party offerings.
You might think it is, but it’s clearly an integral part of a software suite. Whether it’s the Apple ecosystem, Google, Microsoft, or Proton, it’s a popular preference for the sake of convenience.
Unless Proton OS is a consideration, I dont think a browser is a natural progression. There are plenty of private browser options already being developed (and I think the proton extensions cover most conveniences). The only way I’d see a Proton browser as a positive thing is if they went all in on ladybird or some other completely independent browser engine.
I replied to a post of yours discussing Pass, not a browser.
I love Pass
Any idea if it’s self host able if it’s open source?
