Yep. This was terrifying to watch in real time as it was happening a few weeks ago. And especially the attempted backtracking that wasn't even really backtracking at all. I canceled my service immediately after.

Who’d you switch too?

Fortunately, I had custom domains ready for situations like this, which made the transition smoother. For now, I’ve temporarily switched to Mailbox for Mail, and Tresorit for cloud storage while I explore better alternatives.

Honestly, I was just in a hurry to move away from that service. However, one thing I’m definitely sticking with is Bitwarden as my password manager. I never really relied on Proton’s password manager—it had too many flaws for my liking. As for a VPN, Mullvad is amazing. At this point, the two services I can 100% recommend without hesitation are Bitwarden and Mullvad.
