@privacyguides I haven't been a huge fan of the idea that's been floated around that Proton should develop their own web browser... but with all the latest #Mozilla news, and now this great development... maybe @protonprivacy should take up Mozilla's mantle after all 🤣

@privacyguides There #products are the cleanest and most efficient in the #modern #computer #age. I hope they re able to succeed & expand without succumbing to the trillion-dollar race or criminal bandwagon club - the googles, zuckerbergs, gates, bezoses etc like other privacy-preaching non-profits have.

@privacyguides I have doubts this is the right move. I see @protonprivacy eventually becoming irrelevant because they tried to be something they're not.

@privacyguides These lines bother me a little

"For instance, the for-profit corporation is not prevented from issuing stock options to attract and incentivize the best talent in tech. Nor would it even prevent the corporation from raising capital on public markets if additional resources are required to win the fight for the future of the internet."
