MODERATORS
If you trust Proton, you trust that they'll remain e2ee securely. If you don't trust Proton, you don't trust that they'll remain e2ee securely. I don't trust Proton and actively avoid their products.
But the entire point of E2EE is that you don't need to trust them.
There's a point to be made for web apps, but with their client apps, the source code that encrypts your data is right there.
With reproducible builds (that don't exist on all platforms) and code review of every update (which I won't do).
