Proton isn’t reinventing the wheel with this crypto wallet. But it’s another solid option for people looking to create a crypto wallet for the first time. However, cryptocurrencies tend to be a polarizing topic, so let’s see if Proton Wallet doesn’t hurt Proton’s brand image in the future.

I stopped using Brave when and because of crypto bs.

I stopped using proton a few months ago because the price was just too high and my need too small. I needed a reasonably priced family plan for email on my domain, not another cloud drive.

I think this decision will hurt them as others come to this conclusion

I don't think it will hurt them, because I think the majority of Proton users want exactly what you didn't. There are lots of options for email using your domain, but I don't know of any cloud suite providers that respect your privacy like Proton does.

Also, I am surprised that with the amount of different plans they offer none do what you wanted well. I thought they had a family plan for just mail without the other services, but they only have a business one and $7 per user is not a great price.

Tutanota is kind of a protonmail competitor but it's been years since I looked into it idk how they're doing
