> "Google knows too much and I want an alternative" Proton is great, cheap, and convienent.

I think that Proton does a good job with the suite (docs, sheets, calendar, password manager), and I believe they have a good VPN (for what we may expect from a VPN).

Interestingly, Proton started with ProtonMail, and I find it's the least convincing of their products:

1. As an individual, writing from your ProtonMail account to (probably) someone on GMail doesn't change anything.

2. As a company, writing from Proton to Proton is a good idea, but there is no need for end-to-end encryption: just choose a mail provider you trust, I guess?

3. The ProtonMail end-to-end encryption in the web browser defeats the purpose of E2EE: you have to trust Proton anyway, because they serve the code every time your employees load the page.
