Proton Mail has a lot more settings, though, including custom CSS import.
#Is proton email user friendly upgrade#
It loses some points, however, from a home screen that includes a huge prompt to upgrade your account. Last July Protonmail underwent and passed an independent security audit so presumably security should not be such a worry. Proton Mail doesnt lose out on this front its also very user-friendly and intuitive. So, i'd say protonmail has a more user friendly encryption scheme (but maybe limited to paying customers only?), while swisscows gives the opportunity to use gpg. and also encrypted messages expirations.īoth based in CH, both use FOSS, both supposedly care about privacy.Ĭommunication wise i think they both will be using latest secure ciphers for smtp/imap/pop3, and tbh i think everything else is pretty much the same. they also have these encrypted attachments links which is interesting. Protonmail uses server encryption (inhouse AES or dovecot mail_crypt perhaps? not sure) and also has gpg support, so bad thing they have the encryption keys for the server (if i understand it correctly), good thing -if you trust them- everything is encrypted by default. Good thing, encryption is done on user's machine, not on swisscows, bad thing, it uses javascript opengpg which is not considered very secure by what i've been reading around. not very user friendly, but they might have good documentation/guides about it, don't know. Swisscows seems to use mailvelope addon for browsers for their roundcube webmail (gpg encryption), so both sending/receiving parties need to exchange keys first. Disclaimer, haven't used any of these, just read their features/faq since "can't read user email" drove my curiosity.
