  • You don’t have to use all the services, most of them have an excellent free tier. My setup is paying for VPN, using the free tier of pass and self hosting my email and cloud storage.

    Legally they (and every other company) are required to hand over data to the police, however they can try to have as little data as possible. While Proton doesn’t take as extreme measures to protect your privacy as for example mullvad, they have no log policy and such. I believe the case where they had to collect data (IP address, which they normally don’t collect) they received a legally binding order from the Swiss government which normally is used for serious crimes. Every company has to follow these orders, so this isn’t a proton thing but rather a Swiss law thing.








  • I don’t have nay extension installed that interacts with containers. In settings I enabled container tabs under general and if I right click on the new tab button I can open a container tab, so it appears to be built in. I can also create custom containers for example I have one for google services. So if I understand you correctly the extension doesn’t do anything else special?





  • Onetab is recommended by Firefox, so it gets monitored for security in some form, but regarding privacy it sends your visited domains to google to get the favicons but the rest of the privacy policy seems very good. As with any proprietary software, you can not really know if it is safe, you just have to trust it. As an alternative I would recommend Tab Stash, it does the trick for me
