So Protonmail / ProtonVPN is not a good option?
I'm trying to get rid of my Google dependency and one of those steps was moving over to Protonmail. Now in the past few days i have been picking up signals that even Protonmail is not as clean as it might be.
Does this really impact the privacy of how i use email and so is moving to Protonmail a step forward from Google, or is Protonmail just as bad?
If so, what could be alternatives?
edit:
Some of the alternatives being mentioned in the comments are:
Email:
VPN:

There seems to be some new activity around this post. At the time of writing the post (2 years ago) there were some stories going as user @UnfortunateShort described in their comment. This made me question the best options available at that moment. Currently i am still a Proton user, using their Mail and Calendar service, and Mullvad for VPN.

I've been using Mullvad VPN for about 5 or so years now and it's been really great.
Very privacy centric - your account holds no personal information, it's just a randomly generated number that you keep saved somewhere, and it's really only used for payment.
It's very reasonably priced as well - I just keep it on autopay, and every year it charges the €60 to my PayPal - but you have a lot of options for payment - including crypto and even cash!
