For a few years I've used FF for shit that's unimportant and Bitwarden for stuff that is, so a combination. Mainly becase I might go the entire day or three not needing banking, finance government stuff where my ID can be compromised and don't need to open BitWarden at all.
I use FF on Linux, Android and Windows when my partners Laptop has Windows issies
I use Aegis for 2FA becase its easy to do a backup and store the password for the encrypted backup in Bitwarden.
I have no idea if this is sane or efficient, its just how I do things now.
Why didn't they put it on F-Droid? And does Proton mail support connecting via SMTP or POP from third party clients, like every other mail service does, yet?
Really amazes me how our government handles situations like these in the worst ways possible. Really hope the idiots at the top of the ladder get some braincells and see how stupid this whole debacle is
The block order hasn't been initiated """yet""" but knowing the stance the Indian Government has on encryption as a whole, it's not much to go with.
Say the service does get blocked then the app will be available through F-Droid but the website will most likely be blocked by most ISPs. if any Indian user still wishes to continue using PM if a block order is initiated then they'll most likely have to use a VPN or a proxy server or through Tor. It'll also be possible to access the website if they use a different DNS.
I'm really hoping it doesn't end up being banned but seeing how the Indian government banned VLC a few years ago (unbanned it later on however) for the stupidest reasons possible.... Yeah it doesn't exactly induce much confidence....
I'm pretty sure that most people who are using Proton Mail are technologically savvy enough to bypass whatever half assed measure the government puts in place.
I agree! But it's still an issue as there are quite a few proton mail users who just wish to achieve a tad bit more privacy and aren't tech savvy. I know some folks like that myself and tbh sometimes all the technical stuff or going through hoops can just be very daunting/overwhelming at times
