gmail vs proton

[oh]

can someone explain how proton is more secure

 

[oh]

Says it right on the homepage,
"End-to-End Encryption"

Great explanation

1. Better encryption on Proton’s side.
2. Less information is logged and shared to external parties with proton.
3. Proton is more anonymous, and is an alternative to google like duckduckgo but in a gmail version.

Gmail is fine, like anyone here is going to need to use ProtonMail for Minecraft.

you say that but....

Have fun trying to get into a Gmail account.

If you don't have access to someone's phone or backup email, you are out of luck. I lost a channel that obtained over 100,000 views off of Minecraft but I was never able to get the account back. You can't go through support, it's all automated through a system for the most part.

Used to use gmail. Then Justin showed me Protonmail and now I use that. Plus you don’t need a phone number / email verification to make an acc

I'd recommend the following for the given situations;

1.) If you're creating an account such as a Fort, MC, Instagram, not buying then 100% Gmail. Gmail has various means of verification that you will need to go through if your account were to ever get hacked. The information will more than likely be information that only you know since you were the original creator of the account. On top of that, Gmail has various options for 2FA and other security features that are not found with Proton.

2.) If you're purchasing an account, you'd most likely want a Proton. They're very easy to secure, and hard to take back. Not sure what the individuals above are talking about but I've never had a Proton pulled from me. I've had Gmail pulled 10+ times.

You got a lot to learn my man.

I use both. I'm just saying everyone acts like for some reason they need encrypted messages around here for something they are doing in minecraft. Yes it's more secure, but Gmail is better designed and more accessible. If you have a decent amount of knowledge, it's not hard to secure a Gmail account.

The only two scenarios where I could see using ProtonMail would be if I intended to sell that email account because it was used for an account on twitter or minecraft. The other one I could see if you are doing shady shit. Besides that I would trust Google more because they are domestic.
