I've cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here's what I'm thinking of, but I'd love to hear what other people are switching to

For Mailbox there's also Tuta.

For VPNs you could consider IVPN. It's Gibraltar-based.

As for document collaboration; Cryptpad.

Bitwarden is US-based; see here - "Bitwarden Inc. is incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States of America. 8bit Solutions LLC is wholly owned by Bitwarden Inc.". That said, it's OSS and can be hosted locally.

Tuta seems to provide a very good service, but I personally just can't justify going all-in on a provider which doesn't use open standards. Encryption that essentially only works between Tuta inboxes just doesn't promote an open ecosystem. Although, if that isn't a concern, they are probably the best contender in a lot of respects.

They're also quickly enshittifying. At this point I'd never trust a US company with anything related to my privacy/security.

Which one is quickly enshittifying?

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

Bitwarden. The trajectory has not been inspiring. Changes to licensing and private equity getting involved.

Ill check out ivpn, thanks for the tip!

Replied to wrong comment, still valid. Don’t go Tuta, it is going for slop coding too now.
