This guy can be pretty harsh at times, but he’s clearly very knowledgeable..

However, not all providers have a recent review, and his priorities are skewed heavily to the “paranoid” side of the tech world. For example, he considers being able to mail cash to a provider a significant pro. The overwhelming majority of users aren’t mailing cash to pay for their email.

Overall, it’s good info that’s worth sharing.

    Thought this comment he made was odd about Proton mail.

    The site is filled by beautiful black screen without JavaScript enabled.

    Like yes, its a bit difficult implementing local encryption or decryption without js enabled.

    Has some good messaging, I’d say most of his comments are pretty widely known concerns or limitations.

    Like obviously web apps still rely on trust from the host, but it minimizes the attack surface massively.
