This company can’t stop starting new projects and putting their current ones on the back burner. Their services are all spread out between multiple operating systems. Want proton drive app? Better use Windows. Want the new proton mail app? Better use iOS. Want anything? Better not use Linux.
So it’s a true Google replacement.
Welp they only need a search engine and ai tool really. And they are percived as a good guy ( for a good reason,probably the best free vpn out there and just overall )
Yeah, its super annoying.
Port forwarding with the VPN on Linux was an adventure because all the docs are outdated and I had to scour github issues for how to do it.
Android mail app becomes super slower over time. No snooze. Wish it could do POP3/IMAP for send/receive from other accounts like my school one. Can’t delete aliases I made before proton pass aliases came out.
No contact syncing as a bi-directional provider with Android.
Someone recently added Proton Drive to rclone if you want to sync in Linux. Worked for my small test but I’ve since moved to Backblaze for my backend storage while waiting for a solution and it works really well for less than a $1 a month.
Their vpn client for Linux was also missing features compared to their windows counterpart.
The android app is so bad I just straight up stopped using them as a service. Very frustrating.
This is something we really need competition on. In fact, proton are doing strong solid work as a whole.
The more companies that build these the harder they will be to defeat with a bot.
Here’s the original article
In the future, we may also consider making it available for third-parties who care about privacy via an API.
Wait, it isn’t even available for other services?
Yeah and wheres the source code?
Question: how do you make captchas work for blind people?
Ah! They do an audio puzzle apparently. For Google captchas at least.
Some used to have an audio button where they read the letters in different voices / accents and there’s a ton of weird background noise and static. It was super annoying.
I know that hCaptcha has a system where they send you an email containing a link to a page, which will set a cookie in your browser telling the CAPTCHA to auto-flag you as verified.
Of course, good luck if your browser blocks third-party cookies, you don’t browse in incognito mode, or if your screen reader can interact with the CAPTCHA to get the link in the first place…
