It's bad on Android, but is good on desktop

No ports open to the internet except 80/443 on the reverse proxy

In terms of security, isn't this kind of the same as just opening the server port to the internet, which many others are advising against?

AD2K you mean?

Google is an advertising business, so the "need" for our data is built into their business model. Proton is not an advertising company and doesn't have any relation with any other party where our data drives their business. If you are concerned that Proton will record your IP when you create an account (which they are very clear on in their privacy policy), you are pretty much looking for anonymity if even you claim not.

Tell me you don't understand the difference between privacy and anonymity without telling me

Not fully correct. Mails between Proton users are E2E encrypted where Proton cannot see them, and rest of the emails are encrypted at rest once Proton receives them. Based on the audits and open source code, Proton is not keeping a copy of those emails when it receives them, and once they are encrypted, nobody but you will have access to it

You were being mislead with false information. Share appropriate sources to back up whatever you are saying. Proton has regular audits for security and encryption for all their products, which makes whatever you've been told pretty much false information

Brave has built-in ad blocking, so no need to worry about add-ons. And it's familiar for Chrome users since it's also based on Chromium open source

I was a Bitwarden user for 2yrs and recently moved away to ProtonPass. Primary reason for me was native mobile apps and email alias feature. Although it doesn't have a web version yet (which is planned and would be coming in future), browser add-ons and native apps cover what I need and migration was mostly seamless as well
