What Mozilla should’ve been.

An organisation with products people want to pay for. Instead they ended up as a shill for Google with a CEO more concerned about her paycheck than actually making good products 😞

You mean 3-4 million for a non profit CEO are too much?

Think about her constant worrying about users not donating enough for her goal of constant raises without offering any actual value…

If we all donate 20% of our monthly salary to Mozilla by the next year she could reach 5m.

If they enable IMAP for all accounts that’d be awesome. I’ve been reluctant to use their mail system in case it just becomes another lock-in.

Yes, not being enable to integrate with the system both Linux and Android is what is bothering me the most.

But isn’t this exactly what the Protonmail bridge is for? I don’t use Proton myself (self-hosted Mailcow) but afaik Imap doesn’t support public keys/PGP the way Proton is using it, hence one needs the bridge to use normal Imap clients like Thunderbird.

Sure, but this is only for mail, not even calendar. Also, they do not push on flatpak which limits availability.

Contacts cannot be synced on Android. Drive is nonexistent on Linux and I do not think it is a work in progress project yet. Drive cannot sync folders on Android either.

These are basic features…

I don’t know if this would be a good idea.

Sometimes it’s good to run things for a profit, that way there’s extra in case something needs to be upgraded

Non-profit doesn’t mean you don’t make money, just that the money you do make doesn’t go to shareholders but instead back into the company

The comments here and technology community on lemmy.ml vs the ones that on the technology at lemmy.world thread sure were an interesting contrast when it was first posted…

But anyways, this is great news.

This is amazing news. I’ve been thinking about switching to Proton for a while now. Think this may just be the drop that makes me do it.

Swapped to their mail from Google finally about a year ago, it was a pain in the ass, but have been slowly removing myself from the google ecosystem.

Exactly the same here. It’s not perfect… it’s slow, it doesn’t work with your mobile mail client… but it’s better than the supervillain levels of evil that Google is pushing out.
