    I’ve always been a bit weary of Proton. They’re trying too hard to be Google for my liking.

      How so? The three biggest things I attribute to Google are search, ads, and their mail/calendar/drive/docs suite. The only thing I see Proton doing is the last, which serves as an alternative to more than just Google.

      (I ask this as someone that does not use Proton as primary for anything)

        I do use Proton’s VPN, email client, and calendar. In fact, I’m a paid subscriber.

        To me, it’s ridiculous that their mail and calendar apps are Google Play exclusives. There’s really no excuse for that.
