I'm personally puzzled by Proton. Their "pedigree" is nothing to snuff at, however being a privacy oriented service and then getting consumers to tunnel all their traffic through you, use your email, cloud storage, and calendar (basically all your personal info) is an odd proposition. Same goes for Nord, who also has a password manager on top of all of this.

"We store no logs for your privacy", all whole literally storing your entire life under the umbrella of one company. Why not just stick with Google at that point? At least they're a public company and heavily regulated.

Sure if someone had a certain threat model they would want to scatter their service providers more. It does go on trust a bit that Proton is doing what they say, considering you can't "prove" they don't keep logs and that I never personally loaded a public key onto a server for them to encrypt with; they kind of hand-wave it and I assume my password is used to unlock a key that decrypts content client-side.
