I just downloaded the Android app! I love Protonmail! I’m so glad to have it on my phone now.
Hopefully not the OpenAi kind.
Rolex and ikea have the same structure I guess, correct me if I am wrong.
Proton yet again making us feel like we’re right to trust them
Sounds like a good idea but no mention of OpenAI which used a similar for-profit/nonprofit hybrid model.
Waiting for Visionary to come back.
What does this mean? is it free now? like Mozilla Firefox?
This is FANTASTIC. Truly. It is great to see you are taking your supporters, customers but above all else your own souls serious. Thanks for continuing on this path.
Damn, the best gets better.
Great power move!! Well done.
Great news!! I have a lot of respect for this decision. Thank you.
For those who are wondering how they plan to upkeep and provide services while being a non-profit, that is not the plan.
For this reason, our services will continue to be offered through the for-profit Swiss corporation Proton AG, which now operates under the supervision of the non-profit foundation, which is its primary shareholder.
The intent of the shift does not seem to be changing its profit model, but instead reserving its shareholder position only for Proton itself instead of an external board or investors.
Is the entire Proton product line thing non profit.
How will they sustain operating costs and all other costs ?
I’ve been on the fence for a while but this might nudge me further towards giving ProtonMail a chance.
I’m still weary of two things. Price is kinda high (compared to my current plan), I need more than one domain, so I have to get unlimited, but then I’m also paying for stuff I definitely don’t need or want, like VPN. Or maybe just get simplelogin instead, the pricing structure is too confusing! And the idea of locking myself into their app ecosystem, I like the mail clients I have, I’d want IMAP access but the bridge feels incredibly clumsy.
Does this also mean potentially more options for paying for modular services/a la carte rather than whole plans? For example I use a few apps and want just more GB of storage for myself rather than having to upgrade to family plan that contains apps I don’t use.
There should be selections of GB packages such as the 15GB, 100, 200, 500, 1TB, etc
This may be good for those who asked for it. I am just waiting for small improvements (there never happens) on existing apps as Search for Calendar on mobile and access to my data when I am offline (mobile).
With this move, I intend to never leave Proton (provided you keep doing what you’re doing 
)
It’s transitioned to being a sell out firm.
Parsimonious, greedy and a sub standard service with their “upgrades” and changes.
I’m just curious: Is there a way for a US -based, non-millionaire Proton fan to purchase and hold a tiny bit of Proton AG, just for fun?
hey does this mean that you’ll let me use email clients for free and let me stop the thing from automatically adding a footer?
