The linked site is very low on info high on outrageous claims. It is not the same as gmail and protons response to that paper are accurate imo. The fact is web clients are inherently insecure but you can run your own client entirely afaik (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail). I don't think anybody has evidence of wrong doing but the service is proprietary so...

The ProtonMail client is worth a look. https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail It's a react frontend build with typescript.

I'll bite. First, encryption is not "obscurity" in the same way you think DRM is. Second, several other email providers don't think they need to rely on some performance-killing DRM to "protect" their web app (oh no, what of all the value!). Outlook has a part of their files minified, but doesn't use any obfuscation; apps like ProtonMail[0] and Tutanota[1] are even open source. (I'm actually starting to migrate off of Gmail to Protonmail myself.) [0]: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail/ (the new site, on beta.protonmail.com) [1]: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota Oh, and there's no need to call people "communists", "attackers", or "criminal scum". Be civil.
