Truly appalling how this company communicates and interacts with the public on social media. I doubt they're a serious business at all, or are incorporated just to troll people. Just look at their comments on Mastodon.
See also this thread where they blatantly lied to me: https://mastodon.nl/@ee/116532790961949617

Proton 2026 spring and summer roadmaps:

(Being able to send email via external providers is interesting, it's like what they already have with aliases via the SimpleLogin integration. It can potentially be useful for those migrating over from Gmail.)
(As for the Lumo AI SDK, it sounds a bit like Proton wants to be Google 2.0 and be embedded into every website, which can potentially give them the power for cross-site tracking if they ever become an "evil corporation". I mean, they already handed over user data to some authorities...)

@astian hey, I think the default search setting is wrong in Midori Android. Or, at least, searching from the address bar is bugged.
It defaults to astiango dot co, causing errors, redirects, and occasionally ads.
If I create my own "search engine" option using astiango.com/q=%s then it works. So it's just the default AstianGo entry is set. Just one missing 'm' in 'com' would fix it, I think.
Konform Browser 140.9.0-100 has been released!
See release notes for details.
https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases/tag/140.9.0.100
Besides latest security fixes from #mozilla there is a bunch of updates from #konform #browser. To name a few:
- Reorganized Security Settings with new global configuration for WASM, JIT, WebRTC, WebGPU, Geolocation, DOM Push, etc...
- Security Settings also expose UI for enabling First-Party Isolation (same behavior as Tor Browser) and tweaking Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Bundled depropped Multi-Account Containers allows configuring per-container proxies and makes container tabs part of core browser experience without having to install telemetry-laden addons.
- Profile Import now supports importing profiles from #firefox and compatible #browsers (#firefox_esr, #floorp, #ironfox, #librewolf, #midori, #palemoon, #waterfox, #zenbrowser)
- Spoofing of Navigator.sendBeacon.
- #privacy improvements and defense-in-depth
- Various bugfixes and minor improvements
