Be advised that using "Enhanced Spell Check" sends data to Google. Somewhere there's a Google bot that no longer even finds it amusing that I spelled it "teh" again.

Great service, Swiss privacy and security
I don't think there is privacy in this digital world but at least there is a chance with Proton that Apple/Google/Meta/Microsoft don't have easy access to your emails. But I'm sure if you use their app on your phone, Google or Apple will harvest the data.
Proton does not market your information like the others do.
No, they don't.
https://northmail.ca has a good privacy policy, too and is a Freemium business model, like Proton.
Google has been reading your gmail for nearly 30 years. Technically they "anonymize" it, but google ads have been pulling data from your gmail account since before 9/11.
I got my gmail account in 1998, thinking it might be nice to reserve my first and last name as well as perhaps as a couple other accounts "in case this google thing took off."
If only I'd applied that foresight to buying their stock also.
Would not matter, Proton is completely encrypted end to end. Not even proton can access it. In fact up until not to long ago, if you forgot your Proton password all emails accessed with that password are forever gone. You would still have your e mail account, just unable to access past emails with a new password. You can now generate a back up code.
Anyone can email a Proton user. If that user was a Google user, Google got it. Not all email to/from Proton is E2EE.
True, in that case you are communicating with an unsecured source. That would be up to the individual. However the way I read your post #31 was just because, (assuming you are correct) "40% of the worlds email is processed by google" does not matter as Proton email is encrypted end to end among its users.
But for clarity if you are sending it to another user like gmail without a password protecting it then yes, google could read it. However you can prevent that too. You can send encrypted emails to gmail from Proton mail.
What many do not know is you can send email to others such as google FULLY ENCRYPTED with Proton password protected emails to non secured sources like gmail. Once a gmail user receives your email, if the proton user encrypted it with a password, the gmail user must enter the password to decrypt it and ultimately read it.
Clearly if the people communicating were so concerned about privacy they would both use Proton however the password protected email is an option readily available and easy to use.

Everybody and their mothers are clamoring for it without any real understanding of what it is they are asking for. It’s being pushed across all DoW entities as well.
Apple and Google are now working together on this. Which I know you posted but some like me didnt even know what Gemini was until your post! I eliminated google from my world LONG some time ago.
I do use Chat GPT pretty extensively for information on the fly. I find Juniper captivating. My wife thinks I have a problem. *LOL*
I have used Proton mail for a very long time, for other reasons besides security at the beginning and that was its nice clean interface.
Yup! And they don't have an understanding of it. I see all sorts of consequences here, but that's just me.
The AI summaries of gmail are incredibly stupid.
There will be massive consequences. Convincing the AI to send data to an external repository and propagate resources there is a real possibility.
I ended up adjusting GMAIL settings through a browser and uninstalled all Google apps on my iPhone. Will use their services on Safari.
I know that their grabby
hands will soon start harvesting data from iPhones, too. Will need to switch to a flip phone then
