protonpass is available for a few weeks now and i really enjoy using it on my mobile devices and on firefox. there is no "official" app for mac and desktop safari yet (proton claims that they have to heavily rewrite the extension to make it work with safari) so i installed the ipad version on my m1 mini and it works - in a way. if you want to use it, you can just open it and c/p the logins you need into safari, but you can also enable it with autofill for safari in the mac password settings - but beware, this is still kinda buggy!

so, in case you don't want to wait for a "proper" safari extention, you can try this workaround! have fun!

ps.: please no browser flamewar

Definitely considering switching to proton. It's just the 1gb limit that seems like an issue for me. Otherwise the free tier seems fine for me I don't email that often.

my wife has the free plan since she also don't email often and she never deleted a single mail in two years and still didn't ran out of space, so i guess you should be fine ;)

but consider subscribing to help it staying alive! (no, i don't work for them)

I’ve had my account for about 2 years. During that time I've collected 14 pages of emails, each page has 50 emails and some are even stacked emails from the same sender. All of this takes up about 32MB of said 1GB so space in the free tier is definitely not an issue for just emails haha.

I remember when Gmail first offered 1GB of space for email and people thought it was virtually unlimited. There were bloggers who posted their gmail account to ask people to try and fill it up to see if it was even possible.

How times have changed….

Back then emails were limited to 2MB. Nowadays an average Office document is that size and email size limits have grown 10-100x.

In the 10 years i had my gmail account i used up just over 800mb. Mainly filled with account stuff, purchases, sign up stuff etc. I guess how fast you fill it up probably depends on a persons use case. I've since moved to Proton Mail.

If you want just Pass you can get the premium plan with unlimited mail aliases for permanently 1€ (and I guess $?) a month
