Yeah, I ended up going with mailbox until I can self host my own stuff.
I don't get why people hate companies based on one person instead of the company as a whole.
Well the company's board has a choice on who represents them and what their values are as a whole.
If the company thought that this person (CEO on this case) doesn't represent their values effectively they can remove them.
I have to say I found this article insightful: "Does Proton really support Trump? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings)"
It inclines me to give him the benefit of the doubt. He clearly got stuck trying to make his point and at some point just stopped explaining. My feeling was that that was good decision because he stopped digging a deeper hole.

Oof, super been there before
This is a great write up on an absolute storm in a teacup
Not giving my business to a Trump supporter.
This is a great site to see recommended products for use like proton and their alternatives.
While Proton does offer a lot of services that are useful, some people dont want to put all their eggs in one basket and use various products together.
Yes. If you don't agree with the CEO, keep in mind that he is not the owner, they moved to a nonprofit structure. Proton's CEO is not the first one saying stupid things, the same happened with Mozilla, Brave, and perhaps many other reputable groups.
Proton products are good, IMHO the layout is OK.
It's good, but not the only one. If you don't feel comfortable with Proton, go to Mailbox.org, Posteo, Tuta. They are smaller, with less products on their portfolio, but reputable and as good as Proton.
Tuta is a front for a western intelligence agency from what I understand. Came out in an espionage trial in Canada recently. It was in the news.

It’s worth it for sure. The product suite and convenience is really “the only” option for that price and while many seem to thing that proton is ready to sell out to American big tech, they won’t, simply because you can’t sell a non-profit organisation.
Tuta is decent email, but terrible UI.
OpenAI is a non-profit too...
Technically, yes.
IF you're worried about the CEO, go for Tuta.
